Original Toronto Star caption: Toronto's Mr. Piano; 72-year-old Ernie Barnes; was honored this week at Royal York Hotel party by members of nine service clubs where he regularly plays. Only time he got near piano this time was when he gagged it up and sat on the lap of regular pianist Dorothy Marrall to play an unorthodox duet.
