During the folk revival period of the 1960s and early 70s, we Americans were bathed in folk music, on radio, TV, concerts, recordings, and coffee shops. Now, to hear such music live, or even to find recordings, it takes a lot of searching. But not here at OLLI. This course will present dozens of memorable folk songs, including sing-alongs, of many artists and genres. Come join us.

Notes
Why when I’m registering do I join the Wait List?
Several of our courses are in high demand. In order to accommodate our members who are not tech-savvy and have trouble registering online, we created a registration system in which there is no advantage to registering early, no disadvantage to registering later.
When registering, you join the Wait List for each course. Don’t be alarmed. This does not mean the course is full. After the registration period is over, we run a lottery on the courses, and it randomly determines who is admitted to each course and who is not. You typically will receive notification regarding which courses you are admitted to, about two weeks before the start of the semester. If a course accepts 50 or more students, you are very likely to get into it.
