Brian G. – The Entertainer
If the residents at the MVNRC were to sing, “These are a few of my favorite things…….”. Some of their favorite things would include music programs, bingo, family visits, observing and talking to children, watching TV, and visits from dogs who they love to pet and give a hug.
On April 18th, 2024, the residents at MVNRC had the opportunity to listen and enjoy a special entertainment program featuring Brian G., who sang as he played the keyboard. He also had a guitar with him. Brian entertained our residents with a variety of songs from the 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s, including, but not limited to “Day Dream Believer”, “The Twist”, “On the Road Again”, “Dream, Dream, Dream”, “Return to Sender”, “Knock Three Times”, “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”, and “Traveling Man”. Brian invited the residents to sing-along, tap their feet, clap their hands, and hum. Brian added, “Whatever you do, please participate, have fun, and enjoy yourself”.
Brian is a Juilliard School of Music graduate. He began his music career while in college. Brian was an independent recording session musician for EMI/Colgems Record, in New York City. Brian retired and for the past 9 years has been performing at Senior Communities. He now resides in Old Forge, PA.
The residents enjoyed his program as evidenced by their applause, participation during the program, and their words of praise and appreciation.
The residents are looking forward to when he returns in June for another performance.
