The music series is free and open to Carousel Bar patrons, with featured performances from 5:00-7:00PM and John Autin to follow at 9:00PM each night. Harry Mayronne A pianist, composer, musical director, producer and puppeteer, Harry Mayronne Jr. was raised by artists and music lovers; his late father was a graphic artist who also managed the Olympia Brass Band and owned a talent booking agency. His mother is the grandchild of English Music Hall performers. Harry was exposed to an eclectic mixture of music, and began his classical piano training at age six. As a teenager, Harry was drawn to the music of Kurt Weill after seeing Lotte Lenya in Cabaret and later, in her final performance in The Threepenny Opera in Florida. An oil portrait of Lenya which hangs in Harry's French Quarter home is a memory of that trip. Just a couple of years later, an argument with his roommate over the proper way to chop onions led to his first job as a musical director. The production was The Threepenny Opera. Later, in 2000, Harry produced Kurt Weill New Orleans Style at Le Chat Noir in New Orleans, presenting some of Weill's compositions in their classic form, and re-arranging others for a jazz audience. "Mack The Knife" received five different interpretations in each performance. [...] [...] Carousel Bar to welcome Harry Mayronne & Anais St. John on February 18, 25 and March 4, 2010.
