Artbar nearly open — we’re practicing now

As of Friday August 21: – Ron made his first espresso; – we had the Artword baby grand piano moved from Toronto; – Ross Johnson tuned the piano on Wednesday and it’s ready to go; – the liquor licence arrived; – Bruce MacArthur made eight beautiful circular tops for the tables; – Judith has almost finished painting the tops and Ron varnishing them; – Gord Odegaard has rigged up elegant LED lighting over the bar. 
Richard Chamberlain and Sepp Sipila played some wonderful jazz tonight, just to try things out. Jennifer Lockman will test the piano tomorrow (Saturday the 22nd).
