Memory Cafe: Jukebox Days
From 10 am to noon on Friday, August 6th, through the magic of Zoom, we will join a group in Scotland to enjoy “Jukebox Days,” presented by Memories International. We’ll listen to and chat about music from the early 1960s, including Motown, the British Invasion, Elvis Presley, Roy Orbison, and more! You can also tie-in via conference call!
