In 1955, President Eisenhower spent 7 weeks in Fitzsimons Army Hospital recovering from a heart attack. A portion of his multi-room suite, sometimes called the first coronary care unit, has been preserved. There will be a 30-40 minute talk (with Q&A) in historic Bushnell Auditorium on the history of Fitzsimons Army Hospital and on Ike’s heart attack followed by a tour of the suite and sun deck.

There is no single definition of what poetry is. We believe that music (with lyrics) is poetry, presented in a music template. The intermingling of words and melody has historic potency and has been going on for centuries.
The main title of this course is Music is Poetry and this premise will be shown, in this reduced course, by exploring the songs of four singer-songwriters. During the course, we will examine what poetry is and explore the use of poetic devices in poems and songs. These four artists were among the best of the Twentieth Century at writing both songs and lyrics. Make no mistake, there will be lots of music, via audio or video presentation!
