Piano in the Park

On June 25th Randal and I went to Gyro Park in Osoyoos to what I called 'People-watch' 

There were many young people from Quebec who came here for the fruit picking. 

Some were entertaining the crowd. 

The lead performance of the day was a family

      Piano in the Park returned on Sunday to hold its encore performance in Gyro Park. After hibernating in storage during the colder months, the piano just came out last week to get tuned up and ready for another season of song. 

“Anybody can just walk up and come and play it,” said Diane Ball, the local musician who led Sunday’s show. “Piano in the Park is a really nice way to spread some positive energy. As soon as you start playing people just come. People are just smiling and dancing and it’s a beautiful thing.”

       Joining Ball for her performance were her mother, three sisters, sister-in-law and cousins, who travelled from all over the province. The Piano in the Park program was the brainchild of Janis St. Louis, a founder of Market on Main and the Osoyoos Music in the Park concert series.

        The piano will remain available to play on in Gyro Park throughout the summer months and into the fall.

Randal caught me watching the entertainment!!
