We enjoy an amazing pianist that lives in Atlantic city. A little mining town about an hour away from here at 6
th crossing. However Atlantic City is just 7 miles away from Rock Creek Hollow, where the memorial is for the 13 who died after they had traversed over "Rocky Ridge". John M., the pianist, was awesome, he took many request. One he played "Oh Danny Boy" and Elder Erwin stood and sang it with this amazing
baritone voice. Brought many to tears.
John M. plays in the mercantile, (a bar) in the little mining town. He said that the next song he was going to do goes with a banjo. Lo and behold, we have a banjo player here with us. Bing Roberts is the only paid professional on the visitor center work site. He has built log homes for a career. He commutes back and forth to Idaho. He has a couple of
CDs out and is an awesome banjoist. So he went and got his banjo and they played a few songs together. John M. the pianist specialty is 1800 music. He is amazing.
After he was finished Elder
Bagley presented him with a quilt the sisters had made in the humanitarian center. The
Bagleys, a couple years ago, were in the only eating establishment in Atlantic City while staying at
RCH for their turn as missionaries, and John was playing the piano there. Elder
Bagley went up to him and started talking and the next thing you know he comes and puts on a concert at the Willie Site Trek Center a couple times every year.
