We played for the group birthday party at Orchard Mesa Apartments in Mesa, Arizona on Monday to a really appreciative group in the main community activity hall on the Orchard campus. We met Jesse, the Activities Director for the first time in person and the entire show, from the Show Prelude by Dorothy on the in-house acoustic grand piano, through Dorothy's main set on our Piano/Keyboard Combo featuring a Tribute to George Gershwin, Cole Porter and Liberace and MC'd by Rick, the Birthday Song, Beatles Birthday, and Rick's set, everyone had a great time. Our primary feedback seemed to be that we offered a wide variety of types of live music. We hope to expand on the reputation by working to make that happen consistently.
The Activity Hall also has an in-house Lowery Organ that we showed resident-music-enthusiasts how to get the most out of. The trick was in hitting the "*" button the select the rhythm background then hitting the coloured light button to get it started. This particular model of Lowery was not designed with the easiest set up but once learned-- never forgotten. It's a nice organ-ensemble and the residents had a great time with it afterwards.
