Captain Fun Lunchtime Listening Hour

Bring your lunch & listen to a playlist curated by a Caffe Lena Community member. June's playlist is curated by none other than Joe Deuel. Joe is highlighting artists and songs from his years as sound engineer and resident photographer for Lena's. Joe will talk about these songs and his interactions with the artists dating back to the 70s. The D.J. spinning those records will be the Rochmon himself –Chuck Vosganian!

All are welcome to gather at Lena’s from Noon to 1 PM on the last Friday of each month to enjoy musical memories and new discoveries. The playlist is selected by a different community member each month from the Captain Fun Listening Library of vinyl records in Lena’s lobby. Chuck “Rochmon” Vosganian usually spins the records and gets the conversation flowing. Bring a brown bag lunch. Coffee and tea are provided.

The Captain Fun Listening Library occupying the north wall in the Caffè Lena lobby is comprised of 1,516 vinyl albums and several hundred CDs selected from Al “Captain Fun” McKenney’s expertly curated collection. This treasure trove of folk, blues and jazz was left us in 2015 and we share it through our monthly listening hour, as Al wished. 

Enjoy the memories these records bring back, and dig deep into American roots music.
