Canandaigua, N.Y. Our Bright Spot shines on Dick Johnson.
95-year-old Dick Johnson playing the piano at Ferris Hills Senior Living Center in Canandaigua for the center's weekly workout class. "I learned to play the piano when I was 5," Johnson explained. "I didn't play it again for several years, and coming here, it was a great way to fill up my spare hours, which I have a lot of these days."
Johnson now resides at Ferris Hills Senior Living Center in Canandaigua. He recently volunteered to provide live music for the center's weekly workout class. "I have about 700 to 800 songs I can play from memory," he said. "They asked me to play while they were exercising, and we all found it more comforting."
"A lot of people come here for exercise, and I think it's because of our teacher, Matt, and the piano player, Dick," said resident Marilyn Brindisi. "He's great. When he's not here, it makes a big difference. It's nice to have him play, and he plays good music.""I enjoy it as much as they do," he said. "It's a great source of relaxation for me, as well as the fact they do enjoy working out with music.
