“I’M INVITING everyone to enjoy the music because I’m going to enjoy playing it!” Paul Milovac, CA House Music store employee, said.

And that’s just what everyone who attended the first gathering of the newly formed Ohio Valley Concert Club did.

On a recent Tuesday afternoon, the music-making and wellness room in the back of the CA House Music store in St. Clairsville was jam packed with people who gathered to not only enjoy listening to Milovac play songs on the organ, but also enjoy each others’ company and mingle over a good lunch.

“The Ohio Valley Concert Club for active, older adults is just getting started,” Milovac said. “It’s designed to bring folks in to hear the music.”

During the program, which began at noon, Milovac thrilled the crowd with sounds from the Big Band era, then entertained the crowd with Latin songs.
