Music from the Heart
Ron Myers (piano)
and John Liger (vocals)
from Orcas Island, Washington
Ron Myers
began classical training at the age of six, and continued for the
next eleven years. A forty-year professional career precluded music as
a full time endeavor. Ron was afforded the opportunity to travel world-wide
and was always able to find a piano to play. Dance band, radio shows, piano
bars, weddings, variety shows, and special events have all contributed
to his musical experience. Fifteen years ago, he started accompanying musical
productions at the Orcas Center. Eleven years ago, Ron decided to devote
his full time to music. At one time he was teaching 31 piano students with more
waiting for the opportunity. He continues to work with island vocalists
and has also played piano regularly at Rosario Resort, a world class resort on
Orcas Island where he makes his home.
John Liger began singing
at three. His mother, a very talented pianist; his dad, a professional
singer. He discovered jazz at age 16 and began singing in vocal groups.
He grew up enjoying the Hi-Lo's, the Four Freshmen, Stan Kenton, Dave Brubeck,
George Shearing, and Paul Desmond. Excellent pitch, a three-octave range,
talented coaches, excellent role models (Mel Torme, Frank Sinatra, Tony
Bennett, Robert Goulet, Nat King Cole) influence his musical tastes and
style. He began working with Ron Myers in 1995 while performing in Music
Man. He continues to work with Ron and the vocal group Those
Guys from Orcas. John has added "big band" experience and is currently
performing at the piano as well. See Nice-n-Easy
Music.
