Course Leader Bio(s)

Bob Tremblay

While I grew up listening to 1960s rock ‘n’ roll, I spent my teenage years listening to 1970s rock ‘n’ roll, collecting multiple albums and going to several concerts. As I got older, I delved more thoroughly into 1970s rock as music in succeeding decades didn’t appeal to me as much. This will be the sixth course I’ve taught at LLAIC. Previous courses were film appreciation, classical music appreciation, history of the 1960s rock ‘n’ roll, history of the movie musical and history of 1960s television.
