Musical Memories Highlight Oakton Emeritus Course

Stroll down a musical memory lane by enrolling in Sentimental Sundays, offered by the Emeritus Program at Oakton Community College. These classes meet at Oakton's Ray Hartstein Campus, 7701 N. Lincoln Ave., Skokie. Three-week series meets 2 - 3:30 p.m., starting Oct. 8. Series fee is $40, or $15 per single session.

Singing With Their Sisters (MUS C25-62) kicks off the series on Oct. 8. Revisit songs of the 1930s, '40s, and '50s popularized by the Andrews Sisters and Boswell Sisters.

Swinging With The Strings (MUS C25-63) on Oct. 15 features violinist Rick Veras and members of Moonlight Caravan. Swinging With The Stars also features the gypsy jazz of Django Reinhardt and other masters of swing and standards from the early 20th century.

Those Really Were the Days! (MUS C25-64) concludes the series on Oct. 22. Barb Silverman and Steve Rosen, a veteran duo from the Old Town School of Folk Music, explore the melodious, musical wit of vaudeville that later evolved into living room radio.
