    Brian Ward is the best of the best. To hear him play the piano and organ is a gift to your ears and soul. A fellow musician describes Brain’s playing as, ‘flawless.’ His solos when playing jazz are captivating, bringing big applause from those who are fortunate enough to hear him play live. And what got my attention is that when he plays his solos, his eyes are closed. His fingers know exactly where to strike 10 of the 88 keys on the grand piano. Brian shares that he loves to practice and bring new tunes to life.

    Brian is as humble as it gets. When I told him that a fellow band member called his playing flawless, Brian was thrilled and appeared a bit shy of the compliment. Brian shares his passion for music that began when he was five years old. Over 50 years later his joy for playing has magnified as well as intensified. The You Just Have To Laugh family is honored to hear Brian share his love of music – that in turns makes us feel great.
