This week, Christopher Brooks performed with his trio, The West End, at the VA Hospital in Lebanon, Pennsylvania. In a "musical conversation" of violin, hand-percussion, guitar and ensemble singing, The West End's repertoire is rooted in late 20th century folk/rock (Hendrix, Dylan, Allman Brothers, Temptations)---with a strong emphasis on the Beatles---plus a smattering of jazz and Tin Pan Alley. This Saturday, the audience included a substantial group of Viet Nam veterans.
