Elder Audience » Blues http://www.elderaudience.com Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:17:41 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Smooth Country Blues, with John Cannon http://www.elderaudience.com/smooth-country-blues-with-john-cannon/ http://www.elderaudience.com/smooth-country-blues-with-john-cannon/#comments Tue, 11 Oct 2011 05:00:32 +0000 pam http://www.elderaudience.com/?p=10406 WONDERFUL CLASSIC country songs, some current, and a couple originals from my own CD. Song sets will vary depending upon setting: DANCES, DINNERS, PARTIES etc.  I accompany myself on rhythm guitar and will add variations at times to the professionally pre-recorded instrumentals, which are chosen to most closely reflect the original instrumentals that made the songs hits! I use  professional top-of-the-line band equipment for the most beautiful sound, with great feel but never-punishing rhythm. I’m “un-young and un-pretty“, but I’m the real deal, riding my own horses (Jake & Gus) in the back-country where I am grateful, seeing our nation’s beautiful land! (I do invite semi-professional artist friends to join me on occasion)

I am based in the Portland/Vancouver area but will travel to Mid-Willamette Valley (travel expenses apply)

I play many styles of  music from the 1930′s to today: Swing, pop, standards, blues, country, romantic, easy listening, gospel, and holidays!  I have even recorded two CD’s, “Autumn Leaves” and “Christmas Memories”. Count on me for all occasions and special events.

**Think of Monte for your Memory Care residents! He currently performs at multiple Memory Care facilities. He interacts well with memory care residents and finds that music is something they really respond to–helping to improve their quality of life. Monte is also a former long-term-care administrator with professional experience in memory care.  Now, in his role as an entertainer, he hopes to bring some joy to memory care residents.

Monte is Portland based but travels widely!

Read a testimonial from this activity director… “I would like to let you know how wonderful Monte Watters is! I have heard many piano players and the first time I heard Monte I was astounded. The man can PLAY the piano. He was engaged the entire  time with my residents and had many of them up dancing and singing. We  cannot wait to have him back. Thanks to Monte for being a part of our lives. “

More praise for Monte Watters: “We have been enjoying Monte Waters for well over a year now and the residents love him!  They pull up chairs and gather around him while he plays.  We even have one resident that sits beside him on the piano bench!  He has such patience and plays beautifully! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!”
