Alan Seibert knows how to woo a crowd. Known as The Music Man, he had the residents of Ada Vancrest singing and clapping along to his guitar playing on Tuesday afternoon.

A large group of the residents was on hand to enjoy his performance. He also plays piano, harmonica, and drums, but the Ada senior citizens seem to like his singing and guitar playing, so that's what he sticks to when he is in Ada. Because of his popularity, he is invited to the retirement facility every two months to entertain.
