Noted jazz pianist performs Sunday

PREFACE
I just read that pro football is by far our most popular sport with 48% of sport fans following games. It's playoff time, and division championships will be on the line next Sunday. Many won't want to miss Sunday's televised games, but at the same time I wouldn't want you to miss Sunday's jazz performance either. Here's what I'll be doing, using my DVR to record the games -- I'll have time after the performance to watch at least one of the games, more of them later.   I can't emphasize how important it is to me that our Payson jazz fans continue to come to our Sunday performances. We have three professional musicians coming from the valley to play just for us because they know you are one of the most appreciative audiences in the state. Please come Sunday to give George, AJ and Steve a warm Payson welcome. Each one of you is important to me   - Gerry Reynolds
