Where did all the Pianos go? The Chris Finger piano showroom at 101 Second Ave. is usually full of pianos, more than 30 of them. But on Monday, July 17, 2000, it contained only five pianos. The space was not empty however. It held a rapt audience of 150 Ragtime music lovers. They were attending the final concert of the Ninth Annual Rocky Mountain Ragtime Festival in Boulder Colorado. The festival began Thursday evening, July 13, in the Unity Church of Boulder. Musical concerts and symposia were held Friday and Saturday, all day and evening. A breakfast brunch concert took place at the Ramada Inn on Sunday morning. In addition to Scott Joplin
and Jelly Roll Morton, the music of Gottschalk, Duke Ellington, Ebie
Blake and music from South America was played.

Green Boxes on the Move
The large green boxes that provide free copies of the Courier to passing pedestrians are on the move.
The busiest green Courier box was in front of Steele’s Market. It has been relocated to Second Avenue near the old Rev. Taylor’s Restaurant. The Courier will now be available inside Steele’s on a metal rack and at the checkout counters.
The Courier box outside of Conoco in Niwot will remain, as will the box near King Soopers in Gunbarrel.
A new location in Gunbarrel to pick up the paper is on 63rd Street at the entrance to Habitat. Several new locations to ‘pick up a paper’ have been added in the Longmont area. One is in the Mountain View Shopping Center. A second is at the Coastal store on Pratt Parkway and Ken Pratt Boulevard. And finally, you can get your courier at Dairy Queen on Ken Pratt Boulevard.
