Monroe area residents were charmed by the piano tickling fingers of Barry Baker in the Mt Pleasant Chapel on Tuesday evening.
Mr Baker is such a talented charmer - he made interesting comments and connections as he played both well known and little known selections without any sheet music.

Ms. DeLeone, the new activities director, requested her friend show off his talent by presenting a Christmas concert in the chapel. He had the audience singing as well as swinging along to his lively jazz style of carols for more than an hour.
He promised to come back next year. Watch for the announcement!
