Rob Landes really livens up a room. He entertained the April Sound Ladies Association at their April luncheon and brought a lot of smiles and memories. His program included songs from Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Irving Berlin, interspersed with comments about their lives and their songs. It's always a treat to have Rob; he is the consummate performer.

He's a bit of a Renaissance man. He heads the Rob Landes trio, which plays in dinner clubs and for parties around Houston. At one time he traveled with Marilyn Maye on her concert tours as her accompanist. He is a church organist and has composed much sacred music. He is also a recording artist and has several CDs to his credit.

The April luncheon was hat day and members wore many lovely styles. Dee Huggins won for the most creative hat. Hers had a "Sold" sign on it, rather fitting since she is a realtor. Priscilla Milholland won for the most original and Shirley Hunt took a prize for the funniest.
