We had a great time Sept. 19 at the Fall 2006 Fingerstyle Showcase
concert. TGS director Rod Saunders started the evening off with
McCormick by Alex De Grassi followed by J.T. Gentry playing an
original tune entitled Halfway There. Lon Bartlett was next with one of his original
flamenco pieces Adios But Not Goodbye. Joesf Glaude then played one of his
compositions entitled God Light Clouds and Caleb Sanderson
followed him with the prelude from the first cello suite by
Bach. Then Pete Astor and 17 year old Nathan Wright played
orignial pieces followed by 15 year old Brandon Vaverka from Enid
playing the classical piece Romance. (Nice to have some
young people involved.) Darren Armentrout then played his
composition Maybe which was the first departure from
fingerstyle allowed at one of these concerts. (After hearing
Darren play we couldn't turn him away.) Jeffrey Hiatt-Frink
then played a couple of original pieces followed by Rod Saunders,
Lon Bartlett, and J.T. Gentry playing a Spanish influenced
arrangement of Jim Croce's Time in a Bottle. Pete Astor
and Joesf Glaude then performed a jazz tune written by Joesf
entitled Spanish Cat Jazz. Husband and wife team Cole and
Emily Modlin then treated us to a duet of voice and guitar on
Villa-Lobos' Bachianas Brasiliearas No. 5. Closing out
the evening was the flamenco group Reflejos Flamencos with guitarist
Johnny Beard, dancer Lexi Beard, and percussionist Dylan Allen
performing an original flamenco piece.
