S26-14 Cleveland Rocks and So Do You!! - Part 2 NEW
Class | Registration opens 3/8/2026 9:00 AM EST
In this class, we will continue to cover what makes Cleveland the Rock & Roll capital of the world! We will look at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum (how and why we got it, how we almost lost it, the grand opening in 1995 and the years that the induction ceremonies were held in Cleveland). We will look at the Beatles in Cleveland (1964 and 1966), the World Series of Rock concerts (1974 – 1980) and other iconic concerts. We will look at the important Rock & Roll radio stations (WIXY, WMMS, WNCX) and radio personalities. I plan to bring in musicians and other VIPs to enhance the class! Rock & Roll drummer Joe Vitale is scheduled to appear in the April 21, 2026 class. Joe is a Canton, Ohio, native and has played and recorded with the Eagles, Joe Walsh, Crosby Stills & Nash and many others! All are welcome to enroll in this class. NO PREREQUISITES!
