On Sunday January 10th, we are pleased to be offering our community a FREE concert to celebrate some of our communities unique talent, a brand new and very innovative hybrid digital grand piano by Yamaha and most importantly our appreciation for many years of support by the good people of our neighborhood. The concert will be approx. 60 minutes in length and feature three separate performances. A chamber group, a solo piano performance and a jazz vocal performance will round out the entertainment. Attendees will be welcome to stick around after the performance to take a closer look at the piano and speak with representatives from Yamaha Canada. We are very excited about this event and hope to host more like it in the future. For more information and to request tickets, click here.

As you have already noticed, our website has been completely revamped. There were a few different goals that we hoped to achieve with this overhaul. Firstly, we wanted to make our site look better, more consistent and more professional. Secondly, we wanted to make it even easier to navigate then the previous version and lastly, I (Bill) wanted to make it easier to maintain. The previous site was based on the iWeb platform that while extremely easy to use, had some serious limitations that was making the upkeep of the site very tedious.

This new site combines the Blog and the Podcast of the previous site into this single Blog. Here you will find all of our blog entries and our Gear Review Podcasts. As well, our used and new product pages have been significantly improved with better photos and categories to make finding stuff easier. More improvements will come as we go after we finish porting all of the content from the old site into this one.

Hopefully, you will enjoy this newly improved site and will continue to visit. Thank you as always for all of your support. Feel free to contact me directly at any time with your questions or comments, billkaos@rogers.com.
