I guess the best way to describe the show is to say that it’s a cross between fine entertainment, goofiness and silliness. This month I’m featuring the best pianist i know. William Hayes has been the pianist for the Boogie Kings for twenty-some years. He hails from Danville, and has played for the likes of Jimmy Fortune and Ben “Cooter” Jones. It’ll just be William on the piano playing and singing a few vocals.

Sometimes serendipity works in this business. I saw a listing for a one-man show in the Virginia Commission for the Arts touring roster. I contacted the actor, John Hardy, about coming to Waynesboro to do his original script Rattlesnake, and we agreed on an April date and I wrote and secured a VCA matching grant to bring him to WTA’s Gateway.

Paul Sanders comes across as soft-spoken in his understated approach to providing entertainment in the form of his Music Trivia Nights at the Gateway Theatre in Downtown Waynesboro. Don’t let the soothing voice fool you into thinking that Sanders is just a run-of-the-mill disc jockey. The guy knows his stuff when it comes to music.
