Join us for a free concert of classic 1920's jazz and blues by the Senior Moments band at the Deerfield Beach Percy White Branch Library. Part of the City of Deerfield Beach's centennial celebration, the 23-song show features well-known hits by such luminaries as Lous Armstrong, Irving Berlin, Eddie Cantor, Cab Calloway, Barbra Streisand and others. It'll include a little history on the music as well as some easy sing-alongs and trivia questions. You're welcome to dance. A Senior Moments show is always lively, interactive and great fun!

We'll meet between 1:30 and 1:45 p.m. and have a little time to socialize before the concert begins at 2 p.m. Afterward we can go to a nearby causal restaurant.
