The kids have always enjoyed Johnny as he sat them on his lap and played piano with them. Now, my daughter had a baby and was wondering his las name as well as how long he has worked at the park. I know Rod has been there 31+ years but what about Johnny?

    Thanks!

    How much before then I don't know.

    But Johnny still plays on Coke Corner. Right now ans at least through the end of the year, he's playing on weekdays. His normal schedule is Monday & Tuesday only and sometimes early Fri, Sat & Sun during peak seasons.
