'Pianorama'

FIVE PIANO PLAYERS walk into a bar and raise money for a good cause. The annual “Pianorama,” featuring a quintet of ivory ticklers and a drummer, was held Saturday at Pat’s Hall. The players entertained the crowds with boogie woogie, New Orle-ans-style, western swing classics and blues-flavored numbers. Featured were (above) Fredericksburg’s Johnny Nicholas, and, be-low from left, Earl Poole Ball, Floyd Domino, Red Young and Danny Levin. Drummer Wes Starr accompanied the keyboard-ists. Proceeds will be used for music scholarships and for performance and song-writing workshops to benefit Fredericksburg-area youth music programs. – Standard-Radio Post/Ken Esten Cooke
