PITTSBURG, Kan. — Renowned pianist and Pittsburg State alum David Osborne will be “tickling the ivories” this weekend at a very special event—Former President Jimmy Carter’s wedding anniversary party. Though a native to the four-state area, Osborne has spent much of his career in Las Vegas performing at iconic places around the city including Caesar’s Palace and the Bellagio Hotel and Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, all the while also making a name for himself as the “Pianist to the Presidents.” Though he has performed for every president since the ‘80s, Carter was the first to be entranced by Osborne’s talent. According to the Las Vegas Review-Journal Osborne and Carter met at a book signing in Orlando, Florida, in the late ‘80s.
