题目内容
10.In his younger days,Colombian pianist Oscar Garcia toured several continents playing Latin American music with popular bands.The experience was memorable.He stayed at luxury hotels,dined on delicious food and rubbed shoulders with star singers like Celia Cruz,Johny Ventura and Willie Chirino.Yet the gig (演出) Carcia has enjoyed the most is the one he now does every morning-playing the piano at a public dining hall for senior citizens in Sweetwater.
For nearly two decades,he has arrived at the Claude & Mildred Pepper Senior Activities Center at 8 a.m.from Monday to Friday.He brings musical joy to dozens of seniors who go to the center to socialize,play bingo and enjoy a free lunch.
In Sweetwater,where many residents struggle to make a living,close to 17 percent of the population are over 65.About 500 benefit from social projects like the senior center,where English and citizenship classes are also offered.
García,who is in his 60s,arrives early to tune the piano and the organ.Then he begins playing easy listening songs to welcome the early arrivals at the center at 10600 SW Fourth St.
A recent morning,García told the story of how he became the pianist for the senior center and how the seniors became his favorite audiences."These old people really enjoy what I do.It lights up their days,"he said.
It all started 18 years ago when tired of more than 20 years on the road with the band Los Melódicos,García decided to settle in South Florida.He moved in with relatives in Sweetwater,where every morning he would walk his little nieces to the senior center's lawn.
