Floyd Cramer is one of the most

admired and beloved instrumentalists of all time. His distinctive “slip note” piano style is instantly identifiable and can be heard on the classic songs of countless pop, country, and rock legends, among them Patsy Cline, Jim Reeves, Roy Orbison, the Everly Brothers, and Elvis Presley. Exemplified by his 1960 smash hit Last Date, Floyd’s unique touch at the piano was an essential part of the “Nashville Sound” during the 1950s and 60s, and his far-reaching impact on the music industry led to his posthumous inductions into both the Country Music and Rock and Roll Halls of Fame. Although he passed away in 1997, Floyd’s “piano magic” is still alive today through the music of his grandson, Jason Floyd Coleman. In The Piano Magic of Floyd Cramer, Jason Coleman brings his grandfather’s famous “slip note” piano style to a nostalgic lineup of some of the most recognizable and heart-stirring songs of yesterday and today.

Art Gallery Paul Keating As a licensed Psychologist, North Resident, Paul Keating’s professional title was Outpatient Director at Philadelphia’s Pennsylvania Hospital’s Mental Health Center--but his spare time was spent painting portraits. The two interests, art and psychotherapy, have been co-mingled throughout his career, but painting was always a deep-routed passion. Paul studied graphic design at the Parsons School of Design in New York City and portrait painting at the Philadelphia School of Art. As an avocation he was the Art Director of Eternity Magazine, a national church-related publication. A missionary approached Paul to be a graphic designer to teach young Congolese how to design church-related magazines. So Paul traveled to Leopoldville in the Belgian Congo for a two-year assignment. But 1960 became a tumultuous time for Africa, so his tenure was cut short when the US Embassy evacuated Americans. His exhibit will include still lifes and portraits of people he’s met along the way. Paul currently teaches painting to Willow Valley Residents and others in the Lancaster community.

Life of the Mind Dates and Topics

Socrates Café

Do you enjoy thinking about and questioning commonly accepted assumptions, even your own? Are you willing to challenge the taken for-granted authority of any position or representation of fact or truth? Would you like to discuss big ideas in a forum that encourages a diversity of strong opinions in thoughtful and respectful, yet often very spirited, dialogue? If so, join us at Socrates Café.

January 12 Free Will What does free will mean and how did it evolve?

“ Alexandros points to the bronze sculpture of Socrates. ‘His society didn’t collapse because of an outside aggressor. It collapsed from within, from the complete breakdown of communication between citizens, and the breakdown of loving sentiment for one another. They ganged up and got rid of Socrates because he was an uncomfortable reminder of the glory days of ancient Athens, when /demokratia/-’people power’--reigned and citizens worked toward a greater good.’ ”

March 9 Truth What is truth and is it relative or absolute?

– Christopher Phillips, Socrates in Love: Philosophy for a Passionate Heart

February 9 Love Is love essential?

“ Education is the kindling of a flame, not the filling of a vessel. ”

Retirement opened many opportunities to pursue this interest to a greater extent. To volunteer as a guide at historic sites became a way to continue learning and teaching. And, hopefully, to stimulate and respond to the curiosity of children of all ages about the people, places, and times of the past.

HEARING SERVICES

complimentary hearing screening sessions offered by dr. heather shenk, audiologist January 15 February March 19 April 16 May 21

Spring Run Conference Room Manor North (Date/Location TBA due to construction) Lakes Conference Room Manor Orr Auditorium Spring Run Conference Room

RSVP by sign-up sheet in the Activities Binder where the screenings will be held. More details will follow in Willow Valley publications closer to each session. If alternate times are needed, contact Dr. Shenk. Why consider a complimentary screening? • We don’t always realize that we have hearing loss, but it can still affect our quality of life negatively. • Screenings let people learn about the status of their hearing in just a few minutes. • It’s helpful to have baseline test results on file in case our hearing changes in the future. We have the ability to make a comparison.
