Lifelong presents…Rockin' in Rhythm

BEGINNING JUNE 16TH, 2009; Every Tuesday from 1:30-4:00pm

At Lifelong -- 119 W. Court St.

Do you miss the sounds of the swingin’ Big Band?

Or the soothing voices of Sinatra and Ella?

Whatever music you want—I can find it.

Come listen, sing along, and reminisce about this great music with me

Note from the Instructor: ***Hello! My name is Remy Kunstler and I will be a senior next year at Ithaca College as an Aging Studies major with a minor in Music. I play the saxophone in a local band called The Buddhi, and I also play in the Big Band at IC. I love music and I love people, so I am greatly looking forward to our experiences together. My intense love and passion for swing often makes me wonder whether I was born in the wrong generation—which is exactly why I want to share this passion with you.
