Autumn Scene With Piano

The stage is ready and it’s just a few moments before the musicians, who had just been rehearsing and goofing off about 30 minutes earlier, will arrive on stage in their dress black for the Andrew Carnegie Free Library & Music Hall’s 2009 benefit performance of Daphne Alderson singing “All Judy, All Heart”. Here the baby grand is ready, with a colorful cluster of mums and sunflowers, bathed in the yellow of the dimmed lights and barely touched by the red and blue stage lights above.
