| Meet Our Speaker  This month’s speaker will be Dr. Mike Daley. Mike and his wife Jill live in Toronto and he holds a Ph. D in music from York University and has published widely on a variety of musical subjects. He is a musicologist, specializing in the history of popular music and has taught at Guelph, McMaster, Waterloo and York Universities. He has toured the United States and Canada as a musician with Jeff Healey and also featured on dozens of recordings as a guitarist and singer. Mike will tell us the ‘Elvis Presley Story’. Elvis defined rock and roll culture in the 1950s with hit records like “Heartbreak Hotel” and “Love Me Tender” and scored hits well into the 1970s like “In The Ghetto” and “Suspicious Minds.” The King of Rock and Roll led a life filled with triumphs and tragedies. His life and music are the subject of Dr. Mike Daley’s lecture. Current Newsletter The May Newsletter is now available. |
