Date: Five sessions on Wednesdays, January 30; February 6, 13, 20, 27

Time: 1:30–3:00pm

Location: Van Lennep Auditorium, CBMM

Course Description:

“To be or not to be…” With perhaps the most famous line written in the English language, Hamlet begins his contemplation of suicide in the play’s third soliloquy. Shakespeare’s artful use of the soliloquies in Hamlet provides insight into the play as a whole and gives extraordinary depth to the characters of Hamlet and Claudius. In an article reviewing Harold Bloom’s Shakespeare: The Invention of the Human, Declan Fitzsimons says “…Shakespeare’s characters develop because they have the ability to overhear themselves talk, either to themselves or to others, and are thus able to reconceive themselves. By endowing his characters with complex inner worlds, Shakespeare treats us to virtuoso displays of what the modern ear sounds very much like self-discovery. There is not one Hamlet but many. We are mesmerized, not simply through the beauty of the language, but because we realize that he is hearing these things for the first time. And no matter how many times we see the play, we never tire of it because it is at such moments that Hamlet, while in real danger of unraveling, is at the same time exquisitely vulnerable and thus truly human." Seven Soliloquies, five weeks… will there be enough time?!

Course Description:

Join us as we continue our introduction to Birding on the Eastern Shore. This course assumes no expertise and is open to persons of all skill levels. Unlike fall migration, when birds are not especially vocal beyond quacks and chips and sport dull “basic” (winter) plumage, the spring migration can be alive with color and song. The course is timed to cover the departure of most waterfowl and the arrival of our summer residents, plus the passage of migratory shorebirds and songbirds en route to their northern breeding grounds. Learn how to see some gorgeous species up close, experience the joy of spring birdsong and glory in the diversity of our local bird life.

Field trip venues have been selected to maximize the opportunity to see most of the species introduced in class sessions.

multi-session coursesA Sense of Place: An IntroductionWith Charles Edward Yonkers

Don Quijote de la Mancha Part IIWith Raymond Vergne

Date: Four sessions on Wednesdays, April 3, 10, 17, 24

Time: 9:30–11:30am



Course Description:

The course will help students read through Part II of Don Quijote de la Mancha by providing historical, geographical, artistic, and critical background while maintaining focus on the major themes such as reality/fiction, perspectivism/ambiguity and deception/enlightenment. Other topics will be race relations in Renaissance Spain, the role of women, and the attitude of society towards sexual issues. Parallels between Don Quijote and the Bible, as well as other works of literature, will be noted. It is hoped that the student will want to read Don Quijote de la Mancha all over again.


Date: Five sessions on Tuesdays, April 2, 9, 16, 23, 30

Time: 1:30–3:00pm



Course Description:

This class is a guided conversation and exploration about the power of place in our lives and your personal special places. We all have places that are particularly meaningful to us. What are they and why? Typically, we think of a geographic or physical place like a family home, a museum, a city or neighborhood. But place can take many forms. We love social places like farmers’ markets, the family dinner table, a book club. And there are also subjective places like sailing, playing music, or reading. An object, an author, an art work can be an evocative place. Place-based studies now appear across many disciplines, from creative writing to architecture, art, food, travel, and local and international politics. Our class conversation will be aimed at exploring “place” in general and helping identify and interpret your places, positive or negative. The class is both an individual and collective experience. We learn from each other to expand our perspectives. There will be opportunity for reading, discussion, and producing a personal product.

Note: A helpful but not required book is Place: An Introduction by Tim Cresswell (Wiley Blackwell, Second Edition, 2015; 193pp)

The Wines of Spain and ItalyWith Joe Petro, Jr.

Date: Two sessions on Fridays, April 5, 12

Time: 2:00–3:00pm

Location: Snifter's Wine Bistro, Easton


Course Description:

During the first wine tasting class, we will explore select varietals from some of Spain’s 69 major wine regions (aka “Designation of Origin” or DO). For example, Bobal red wines are full bodied, colorful and mainly from Valencia. In Spain, we find a very different Syrah to Rhone or Australian Syrah’s. Spanish Syrah’s are full bodied and high in alcohol. With Spanish whites, Albarino wines are aromatic and crispy, with distinctive aroma and high glycerin that gives them a silky texture. Verdijo whites express tropical aromatics that are enhanced with oak casking. In our second get-together, we’ll delve into Italy’s rich wine making heritage. Trebbiano Toscano is a fresh, citrusy white wine. The salty, citrusy white Vermentino pops up all across Italy, especially in Tuscany and Piedmonte. Barbera’s are lush red-purple, low-tannin wines that exhibit tones of dried herb flavors. The highest quality Barbera’s are d’Asti and del Monferrato Superiore. Of course, Nebbiolo lovers are obsessed. What’s all the fuss about? Register for this two-session class to find out.


Date: Two sessions on Thursdays, April 4, 11

Time: 1:30–3:00pm


Course Description:

The question is: How did we go from the Silent Generation to Baby Boomers, and from grey flannel suits to head bandannas in a few short years? This two-part course details how the tradition-bound and conventional Eisenhower years changed into the free-spirited and explosive Age of Aquarius. Many of the developments had their roots in the Fifties with the rise of the black and youth movements, as well as the television boom, the Beatles, the introduction of drugs, and the shift in sexual practices. All of this combined with the Cold War, the Space Race, and fear of atomic weaponry formed the background that eventually rattled the population. America saw a suburban migration and a booming economy that brought lucrative employment with increased new home sales, shopping malls, and a strong sense of material worth in the Fifties. At the same time, many were dissatisfied with a lack of progress in integrating schools, McCarthyism, and the containment of communism. A new wave of interest in the women’s movement, New Journalism, Theater of the Absurd, R&B, and the protests of the folk singers all contributed to the revolution that followed.


About the Instructor: Join Joe Petro, Jr. and the Snifters Sommelier Team, the wine experts who taste upwards of 1,500 wines annually, to compare, contrast, and experience the wines of Spain and Italy.

Date: Four sessions on Wednesdays, April 10, 17, 24 and May 1

Time: 1:30–3:00pm


Course Description:

Already a celebrity on both sides of the Atlantic when he sailed to Boston in 1842, the 29-year-old novelist was mobbed wherever he went in America – from Boston to New York City, Washington DC, Richmond west to St Louis, and then north to Niagara Falls and Quebec. Returning to England later that year, Dickens published American Notes for General Circulation about his journey. It became a hit in the USA and in Britain and the basis for his novel, Martin Chuzzlewit.

AKA “Boz” or “The Inimitable Boz,” Dickens wrote humorous, satirical and critical observations about America in the mid-19th century. Throughout the narrative, finding much to admire in Americans he met and their way of life, he also notes what he sees as their faults, sometimes jocularly. In the conclusion, he gives his considered analysis of what he views as major flaws in US society.

Recommended text: Charles Dickens, American Notes for General Circulation, edited by Patricia Ingham, Penguin Classics Paperback ISBN 978-0-14-043649-5 (Available on Amazon).

Date: Three sessions on Tuesdays, May 21, 28; June 4

Time: 1:00–3:00pm


Course Description:

Calling all mobile phone photographers! Smart Photo Magic is not a class about photo theory. It is a class about photographers sharing their experiences, their photos, and their knowledge of using iPhone cameras to express their imagination (Android users also welcome). We will explore the advantages and disadvantages of camera phones and how they define us as photographers. This class is for people who want to talk about their approach to photography by using what has become an exceptional tool. Participants are required to share at least one or two of their photos per session, beginning with session one. We will explore some of our favorite styles of photography (portraits, landscapes, panoramas, architecture, street shooting, and documentary, among other themes) and how the camera phone facilitates our approach to subject matter and point of view. We will also discuss how we edit our shots and what, if anything, we do with them.

The Day the Music Died: The Stars, The Tour, The Crash, & The AftermathWith Joe Koper

Date: Tuesday, January 29

Time: 1:30–3:00pm


Course Description:

On February 3, 1959, Rock & Roll legends Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and the Big Bopper died violently in a frozen Iowa field. The event was the first tragedy of the Rock & Roll Era and was later called “The Day the Music Died.” Learn about the final fatal tour of the three stars and the fateful conditions, events, and decisions that led to the tragedy. Hear about the surprising back story and curious facts about the Winter Dance Party Tour of 1959 and the musical legends of the three stars. This behind-the-scenes look at “The Day the Music Died” tragedy will provide answers to many questions. What caused the tragedy? How did a half dollar decide their life or death? Why was Buddy Holly’s concert tour called the tour from hell? What controversy arose 50 years after the crash? What joking comment haunted a survivor for years? What future star received his big career opportunity as a result of the tragedy?


single-session courses

About the Instructor: Joe Koper has been a fan of Rock & Roll since his youth and remembers, as a young boy, hearing the news reports about “The Day the Music Died.” After serving in the US Army and earning degrees from Gannon College and George Washington University, Joe’s career was in Human Resources Management followed by post-retirement ‘careers’ as a landscape designer and crew member on the Oxford-Bellevue Ferry.

Date: Wednesday, January 30

Time: 10:00–11:30am


Course Description:

For Harriet Tubman and other enslaved people in Maryland, black mariners were the hub of a great communication network spreading news, notions of liberty, gossip, and personal messages to blacks living throughout the Atlantic region, including the Chesapeake Bay. Free African-American sailors, known as black jacks, were a key source of information about freedom and liberty in the North and for learning the best routes to get there. Join Ranger Crenshaw and learn about the important role that African-American watermen played on the Underground Railroad in Maryland and participate in a discussion about community and communication.


How to Read Tarot CardsWith Suzanne Sanders

Date: Tuesday, March 5

Time: 10:00–11:30am


Course Description:

Reading tarot cards is a fun and colorful way to scope out the possibilities of life. Meditating on the evocative images can enhance your comprehension and creativity. Or you can entertain your friends with the fortuneteller bit. The cards can work whether you are serious or playful. They started out as playing cards, after all. This class will present the essentials of how to read tarot cards in a way that is intuitive and natural. You will have the opportunity to try it yourself with guidance. It will be lighthearted and basic, suitable for novices or those who want a chance to practice with their cards. You can borrow one of my decks or bring your own. If you don’t know which to choose of the thousands out there, I’d be glad to make suggestions. Tarot is a tool to uncover what you already know. Let’s add to your toolbox!


About the Instructor: Suzanne Sanders earned a BA in Humanities from Johns Hopkins because, hey, somebody has to balance out all those pre-med students. She has been a journalist, bartender, poet, adviser, full-tilt mom, and Russian translator. At Jonas’ Attic, she showed how to have fun with metaphysics. Being ringleader for the Friends of the Library book sale temporarily took her away from writing. But that novel won’t be long in coming. She swears!

Flight of the TimberdoodleWith Mark Scallion

Date: Wednesday, March 13

Time: 6:30–8:30pm

Location: Pickering Creek Audubon Center, Easton


Course Description:

As winter breaks and spring begins to emerge, the timberdoodle awakens. At dusk, the male woodcock spirals into the sky, creating a trilling sound with its wings. Then he descends, fluttering, warbling and zigzagging back to the spot he began. This unusual mating ritual will take place in Pickering Creek’s warm season grass meadows that provide an ideal habitat for this annual late winter event. We will spend time in our rustic classroom learning the basics about this unique upland shorebird. At dusk, we will go outside to listen to the sounds of the evening including owls, frogs, and ducks overhead before focusing in on hearing and seeing the woodcocks display.


About the Instructor: Mark Scallion is a graduate of the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry. While at the college he was a teaching assistant for Dendrology, the taxonomic identification of trees. He has continued to enjoy and explore trees and botany through his twenty-year professional career with Audubon.

About the Instructor: Dr. Kamsheh is a board-certified neurologist and sleep specialist with 30 years of experience caring for general neurology and stroke patients on Maryland’s Eastern Shore.

Brighten the Garden with Summer and Fall BulbsWith Ruth Rogers Clausen


Time: 1:00–3:00pm

Location: Oxford Community Center, Oxford

Course Description:

We tend to think about growing bulbs only in the spring with tulips, daffodils, and squills, etc. But some bulbous plants bloom later, and they can dress up summer and fall gardens in an interesting way. Ornamental onions, gladioli, and surprise lilies are some that come to mind. "What is that?” your guests will ask. “Where did you get it?” We will discover some less widely grown plants to accompany your annuals and perennials.


About the Instructor: Ruth Rogers Clausen has been a professional in horticulture for several decades after training in the UK. She has written several gardening books and lectures widely in the US and abroad. Ruth is a resident of Easton, MD.

"Understanding" Our Strange UniverseWith Rich Wagner

Date: Tuesday, April 30

Time: 10:30am–noon


Course Description:

Our intuition about what makes sense in the natural world was developed over the course of our evolution to enable us to survive in the environments here on earth. But those environments are ‘plain vanilla’ compared to the more extreme conditions in almost all of the rest of the universe. Our intuition doesn’t help us much to understand the objects and behaviors of the universe that science has revealed over the past few hundred years. Even the physicists and cosmologists who work it all out have often not been immune from the sense that what we know just can’t be the way the world works. In this session, I will describe some of the bizarre objects and strange-seeming behaviors that the universe throws at us and I will try to explain both why they are difficult to understand and why they actually make sense. It is admittedly a tall order but it will be fun to try!


About the Instructor: Rich Wagner is a physicist whose doctoral work in elementary particle physics led to research in astrophysics, fusion, nuclear weapons, and other national security aspects of science and technology. He has pursued interests in cosmology and the sciences of consciousness for many years.

single-session coursesThe Dynamic GershwinsWith Judy Amdur

Date: Thursday, May 2

Time: 1:00–3:00pm


Course Description:

The Gershwin Brothers lit up the 1920s with George’s wonderful melodies and rhythms and Ira’s brilliant lyrics. On his own, George went beyond the realm of popular music. The brothers' songs from Broadway musicals are still with us today. Their masterpiece was Porgy and Bess. In the 1930s they wrote more gems for several musical movies. They continue to be at the top of “American Songbook.” I look forward to sharing these songs with you and celebrating the uniqueness of the Gershwins.


About the Instructor: Judy Amdur was formerly a speech language therapist in Fairfax County, Virginia. She continues to use music and drama to expand children’s language skills and bring the arts into their lives. She sings with young children around the county and presents a character building program for the Mental Health Association. She has appeared locally in several dramas and musicals and plays the keyboard at Talbot Hospice. Judy enjoys all kinds of music, as long as it’s good and is particularly passionate about the “standards” of our Golden Age of popular music.

US Naval Academy Museum: Docent-Led TourWith Charles Swift, PhD

Date: Tuesday, May 7

Time: Tour from 10:30am–noon

Location: United States Naval Academy Museum, Preble Hall, Annapolis

Photo ID is required for entry into USNA via Gate One.


Course Description:

The Naval Academy Museum in Annapolis is located inside Preble Hall. A walking, docent-led group tour will guide you through two floors of exhibits about the history of sea power, the development of the US Navy, the role of the US Navy, and the role of the Naval Academy as a commissioning source for the Navy and Marine Corps. Displays combine historical artifacts with video and audio technology to bring to life exhibit stories. The USNA Museum history dates back to 1845, when it was founded as the “Naval School Lyceum.” In 1845, President James K. Polk directed the Navy’s collection of historic flags be sent to the new Naval School at Annapolis for care and display, establishing one of the museum’s oldest collections. After the Civil War, the Navy Department began forwarding trophies of war, items from exploration/survey expeditions, diplomatic missions, and naval related art. The Naval Academy Lyceum of the 19th and early 20th centuries was located in several places within the Naval Academy “Yard,” before the construction of Preble Hall in 1939. After a two-year renovation, the USNA Museum reopened in 2009.

This is a car-pooling opportunity for ALL/CBMM Members. Directions & Parking information will be emailed to you following your registration.
