What do the following have in common? "Joline," "Wichita Lineman," "Always on My Mind," "Crazy" and "All My Ex's Live in Texas?" If you guessed, correctly, that they are all Country songs, you are right. If you guessed that I've been playing old recordings you're wrong. If you guessed that these and several other Country songs were performed by our very own Fort Wayne Philharmonic and guest performers Ricky Brantley and Grace Leer this evening you were either there or you are a very good guesser. The program "Country Hits: Songs from Nashville" was quite a departure from the usual Philharmonic classics but it was lots of fun. Both of the singers had excellent voices. Ricky's solo "Always on My Mind" was beautiful and, if you closed your eyes when Grace sang "9 to 5" and "I Will Always Love You," you could imagine that it was Dolly singing. All in all, a very enjoyable evening.
