A 1962 Gretsch 6120 Nashville. A 1966 Gretsch 6122 Country Gentleman. A 1962 Fender Bass VI.

Join us next Tuesday (June 16) at 3 for an opening reception with live music from Carlo and his son Joseph.

Peruse Beatles era guitars while listening to a live musical performance with Carlo & Joseph Cantamessa at the opening of ‘Vintage Beatles Guitars’ on June 16 at 3pm in Homer Babbidge. This dual sensory experience will walk you down memory lane with the Fab Four, using guitars from the collection to faithfully recreate popular favorites.

Global conflict, protests, political unrest - you'd be surprised at the similarities between the 1976 Bicentennial Celebration and America's 250th. The exhibit in UConn Archives focuses on looking back at the American Revolutionary period within the context of the present.
