Joybox Express & Top Hats and Monocles Play at CAS Benefit Concert

Mark Lincoln Braun known as "Mr B." made a guest appearance at the CAS benefit concert on Saturday playing Boogie Woogie Blues on his famous piano bike The Joybox Express.

Lynn and Kent Miller hosted a spectacular concert on their lawn on Saturday benefiting Cultural Arts Strings and it's new youth orchestra project. The concert started off with a tribute by Village president Patricia Vailliencourt. In addition to performances by students and instructors, area duo Top Hats and Monocles played klezmer, Appalachian, and gypsy music. Part way through the concert, Mr. B pedaled his piano bike up the hilly dirt road to the excitement of the group of children who raced behind him helping to push him the rest of the way. Chef Jay of Deliverable Delights served amazing kabobs. Although rolling thunder could be heard in the distance, the weather held and concert goers stayed dry.
