Friday January 5 3:17 PM ET Piano Dedicated to Rosalyn Carter AMERICUS, Ga. (AP) - A new 6-foot Steinway grand piano at the recently renovated Rylander Theatre will be dedicated in honor of former first lady Rosalynn Carter. Carter's friends and Rylander supporters bought the piano, to be dedicated Feb. 3 at a concert featuring gospel, pop and classical music. ``I cannot think of a finer way to honor one of the world's most compassionate and generous women,'' Norman Easterbrook, the theater's general director, told the Columbus Ledger-Enquirer in Friday's editions. The theater's auditorium was named for former President Jimmy Carter, who was born in nearby Plains, at his 75th birthday celebration in 1999. The piano will help place the Rylander among the nation's top midsize performing arts venues, Easterbrook said. The 80-year-old theater closed in 1951 but reopened in 1999 after a $4 million renovation. from: http://dailynews.yahoo.com/h/ap/20010105/us/rosalyn_carter_1.html John Musselwhite, RPT - Calgary, Alberta Canada http://www.musselwhite.com http://canadianpianopage.com/calgary email: john@musselwhite.com http://www.mp3.com/fatbottom
