SHOLEH: Column on pianist connects

Sholeh Patrick's column of Tuesday, July 13 concerning "The Piano Man" Ron Pass, now playing at The Clark House, was right on the mark.

We were celebrating my brother's birthday in The Clark House dining room last Saturday. When it was time for the traditional cake/dessert, we decided to take dessert into the room where Ron Pass was playing. A half hour and I would be home, I thought.

Well, it didn't take us much time before we were all singing along to Broadway tunes, or All-American favorites and totally captivated by Ron's voice and playing ability. One-half hour turned into two and the end of the evening. Everyone wanted more.

I have seen many piano players in my time, but nothing like the professionalism of this man. He is, in my opinion, a world class talent. It sure makes a great evening as Ms. Patrick said. And the setting couldn't be nicer.

The evening doesn't have to be expensive. Wine and $5 appetizers are a new thing at The Clark House, but I guess they must also serve dinner as well.
