Louise Jacobs led the band since 2009. In 2020, when Louise retired, Alan Levin and his bass began to lead the Emeritus Class.<\/p>\n<p>By 2024,\u00a0 the 28-plus members play acoustic and electric guitars, electric bass, slide guitar, ukuleles, both Soprano and Baritone, as well as drums, fiddles, accordion, auto-harp, harmonica and even a banjo-lele. Every spring at the beginning of May, and every Fall in December, we perform a full set of 20 or more songs at Clubhouse Five in a BYOE setting with room for dancing for Friends, Relatives and anyone who enjoys a tuneful good time.<\/p>\n<p>In 2023, we lost one of our featured vocalists, Elsie Pearson, the former president of the club, who continued to perform and entertain as our oldest member,\u00a0 until age 95.<\/p>\n<p>Officers are: President Sharone Rosen, Treasurer Debbie Byrne, Vern Smith, Melanie Delgado and Paul Lambert.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DON&#8217;T FORGET TO VISIT OUR
