I’ve fallen behind on the blog posts the past few weeks. So here’s to getting back into the habit of blogging.

Brandon Sterling plays Elton John’s red piano for a portrait at the Black Hills Piano Gallery on Friday morning Feb. 5. Sterling will be playing with several other musicians at the Elks Theatre on Saturday, Februrary 28th for a benefit for Red Cross. Sterling has been playing the piano for 11 years. “I grew up listening to Elton John,” Sterling says. “How many times do you get to do a benefit concert. It’s huge for me. It’s all about having fun. It’s all about what we can give back to the audience.” Tickets for the benefit can be purchased at the Black Hills Piano Gallery and at the Elks Theatre.

Made this portrait today of George, but it didn’t quite fit into the edit. Thought I’d share it here. George has had two strokes. He’s really mobile, still plays the organ, and has a great sense of humor about him.
