Toward the back of Reading Terminal (actually near the washrooms) is Al Lauer, piano virtuoso. Al plays the piano as passersby munch their way around the market. Al's card reads "Magic in C," and looks like he's available for weddings and Bar/Bat Mitzvahs. Call him at (215) 338-6019.

Back in 1976, I worked for the summer in City Hall in Philadelphia. I even got to ride in an elevator with legendary Philadelphian (Mayor) Frank Rizzo and met Elton John when he came to town to record "Philadelphia Freedom" (named for the World Team Tennis franchise in Philadelphia). Memory lane? |
