"Lon is an incredible and versatile musician. He went from classical, to jazz and pop on cello and piano. He crossed Billy Joel with Beethoven on one piece that was true genius. He's got a great voice and did some very popular Sinatra. A nice addition to our line-up here. I think we should have him back. Oh, and "Ludwig" was his surprise guest." -- Carol Deaver, Program Specialist, Chandler Hall

The concert was the first time most residents had a close-up of the cello and they were amazed art the beautiful music it plays.
