AN EVENING WITH GENTRI

Last night we went to a Community Concert Association concert. It was the last one of the 2017-2018 Season. It was one of the best. 

'Gentri, The Gentlemen Trio' did not disappoint. They were accompanied by Stephen Nelson and a 5-String Quartet from the Arkansas Symphony from Little Rock. Stephen Nelson was one of the highlights. He should have top billing for his performance. For one number, the audience was asked for the name of a current hit song and a classic movie song. They chose 'Wind Beneath My Wings' and 'Dr. Zhivago'. Mr. Nelson combined the two pieces for a new movie: 'Dr. Zhivago Beneath My Wings'. The result was amazing.

The other highlight of the night was a movie of the their original composition, 'Home'. They provided the sound while the movie below played on a large screen behind them. It is about the death of a loved husband who has passed to the other side. He was still able to write a letter to his beloved wife, whom he had to leave behind for a while.

It brought tears to my eyes. (I wasn't prepared. Luckily, Chuck has a handkerchief.)
