The Mildred E. Strang Middle School 8th grade students were treated to the fab trio: Suzanne, Glenn and Phil of Squeaky Clean who performed The 1960s – Decade of Turmoil and Triumph.
The local musicians showed video from the era, shared sing-alongs and narrated events of the period while performing a 60s selection from the Beatles, Jimmy Hendrix, the Doors, Aretha Franklin and more.
The multimedia and music presentation brings history a little closer to life for the kids as the music reflected the struggle of the civil rights movement, the new hope of space travel, the conflict of the politics and the chaos of war.
Rock on!!
