IUP music alumni Dennis ('75 MA '82) and Elizabeth Cramer ('76) and David Earnest ('23) recently performed for "Last Fridays at the Museum," sponsored by the Pennsylvania Trolley Museum in Washington, PA.
The three presented a history of pop music tied into the history of streetcars in America. The two-hour program was interspersed with rides on antique trolleys. Dennis led the audience, playing "Just a Closer Walk With Thee" out of the auditorium to a 1923 New Orleans streetcar for a ride on the museum's demonstration railway.
David is a graduate conducting student at IUP, Elizabeth runs a piano/strings studio and plays piano for the St John's Choir in Kittanning, and Dennis plays with his grandnephew in the IUP University Band.
