The next Music Lovers meeting is scheduled for FRIDAY FEBRUARY 13, 2026 at 10:00am in the Church Auditorium.

​

The meeting will feature "Song Parodies - Part 2" by Hobbyists Steven Friedman & Dick Boswell.

​

Happy New Year and welcome to the Music Lovers first program of 2026.

Let us start the year off with a light and humorous program that will make us smile and laugh at ourselves and our brother Hobbyists.

It is a pleasure to bring back our proficient partners of parody, the Hobbyists’ own Rodgers and Hammerstein under the pseudonym Boswell and Friedman. Friedman like Hammerstein is a dramatist and lyricist and Boswell, like Rodgers, adapts the lyrics to the popular music from our younger years.

Let’s all have a few good laughs as this dynamic duo roast our “athletes”, ROMEO, Wine Makers, Movie Lovers, and our aging   process. And our last two Hobbyists presidents are targets of their own parodies.

 
Dick Boswell has adapted Steve Friedman’s lyrics to some of your favorite music from the 1960s, and even Frank Sinatra and Dolly Parton. You will know the music, such as “Penny Lane” and “I Feel Fine” from the Beatles, “Little Deuce Coupe" from The Beach Boys, “That’s Life” from Frank Sinatra, “Nine to Five“ from Dolly Parton, "Proud Mary” from Creedence Clearwater Revival, and many others. Have some fun with us as you enjoy the new lyrics.

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR
