Performers like The Beachboys, The Byrds, The Mama’s and Papa’s, The Monkees, The Doors, Buffalo Springfield, Joni Mitchell, Jackson Browne, The Eagles, and many more, got their start in the “Canyon of Dreams.” You’ll be toe tappin’ and reliving history with Paul and other Academy fans.
4 p.m. — Shellie Hochstadt – The Patterns of History
Academy history pro Shellie Hochstadt uses examples from her popular course “A Global Romp: History of the 16th and 17th Century,” to look at patterns in history. In other words, what we know, what we think we know, and how we study it. Examine world empires during this time and how exploration moves on to the development of Europe: God, gold and glory.
Parking is FREE. No RSVPs are necessary, just show up. Classes are at Calvary Baptist Church, 6500 E. Girard Ave., Denver.
