Friday, May 18, 7pm, Martin Janis Community Senior Center, 600 E. 11th Ave. [at the southwest corner of the Ohio State Fairgrounds]

Growing older can be frustrating, exhilarating, aching, and liberating. But heck, it’s better than the alternative, right? So join Bill Cohen for a concert that celebrates the “joys and oys” of our boomer and senior years.

With guitar and piano, he’ll sing popular memory-filled songs from the 1940s, 50s, 60s, and 70s that illustrate different aspects of growing older and how rich our lives can still be.

Among the tunes will be ones made famous by a wide variety of musicians, like Bing Crosby, Bob Dylan, Louis Armstrong, Kenny Rogers, Woody Guthrie, and Peter, Paul, and Mary.

Admission is free, but donations will be welcomed for the Central Ohio Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association.
