The Senior Center is filled with fascinating people.
High on the list: pianist Irwin Lebish. A veterinarian since 1954, he is still — in his 90s — a general practitioner at Schulhof Animal Hospital.
That’s not all. He also plays piano with the hands of 20-year-old.
The other day, Dr. Lebish recorded a Holiday Piano Recital — jazz, standards and more — for the Senior Center. He was joined by a young whippersnapper: his son Scott, on bass.
Jim Honeycutt and Nick Pisarro videotaped it all. Click below to enjoy!

Downtown’s newest Christmas tree stands outside Savvy + Grace, near the steps to the old Tavern on Main.
Check it out — and don’t worry. It will be trimmed soon!
And finally … happy 55th birthday to Björk! Now — can anyone name another Icelandic singer-songwriter?!

Nice to see Irwin & Scott LeBish making music together…:-)
Remembering Irwin & his ‘Jazz Drs’ trio (Dr. Jim Gillespie on acoustic bass, and
Dr. Jack Allen on drums.) playing at Dameon’s,next to Mario’s..good times.:-)
Jim & Jack are both gone, but it’s good to see Irwin playing.
Nanna Bryndís Hilmarsdóttir and Ragnar Pórhallsson of the Icelandic band Of Monsters and Men. There, that wasn’t so hard.
Also cool to see fellow 1978 Staples Grad Scott Lebish in the video.
Thank you Irwin Lebish for sharing your uplifting piano tunes again at this time of year🌲❗️Irwin appreciate your versatile shared talents and introducing your son, Scott. Great name👍🏼 And to Jim Honeycutt and crew thank you for your professional and seamless production! Well orchestrated.
On a separate note, kindly pay my regards to your wonderful talented wife who helped both my daughters as their advisor at Staples. She was so helpful to both my daughters, ( one a new Mother of a little girl end of May and the other older daughter due to have a son end of January) . My apologies if this was not the appropo foreum to share this personal information. Again wonderful concert 🎶❗️

Jonsi, by himself or with Sigur Ros. He did the music for “127 Hours,” that James Franco cuts off his own arm movie.
