     On Sat. Apr. 19 - 2014 from 9 pm till midnight - Christine Frechard's verstile Art Gallery - turned into an exciting nightclub with Jimmy Sapienza - Pittsburgh's veteran swing vocalist expertly and generously entertaining - the diverse public - consisting that night of some youngsters from neighboring Oakland - the home of Carnegie Mellon University and University of Pittsburgh - mixed in with some middle aged and older - Squirrel "Hillers". 
     Last night - Jimmy's accompanist - a short, slight but unfortunately blind/sightless keyboard player - demonstrated his mastery of the instrument and good rapport with Mr. Sapienza whose choice of the repertoire also needs to be given the proper credit. The lasting hits of Louie Prima and Frank Sinatra always strike a chord with the listeners.
   Some good dancers showed off their dance steps on an "improvised" gallery's fine wooden dance floor. The atmosphere of a relaxing spring night - attracted some young dancers who also demonstrated a lot of excellent, new dance combinations.
    Next week - we will give you a review of the opening reception taking place on Sat. Apr. 26th - 2014 - 5:30 pm - the new to the gallery, modern American artist -Antonio Puri - originally Indian - lately from Philadelphia - will present his works.

   Stay tuned for that "write-up" and have a very happy Easter 2014 to all!
