Who is Ivories Guy?

Ivories Guy is the solo musical improv act of Ralph Krumins, a veteran improviser who left the Kansas plains behind for southwest Florida and has more than twenty years of improv behind him. In the show he chats with people in the audience and pours each character's hopes, joys and fears into original songs that he makes up on the spot. Krumins calls the act an experiment that mixes melody and madness, full of moments that by rights should fall flat yet somehow come off. He has also served as music director for Four First Names, the duo of Chris Barry and Richard Paul. [1][2]
