Pianist Roger Williams' fingers stroll over the keys of a golden Steinway. Each note conveys an emotion, so that even a version of "Happy Birthday" sounds like a musical masterpiece. A crowd of onlookers stands, seemingly transfixed, and witnesses him playing their favorite tunes.

Taking 15-minute breaks to rest his fingers, "Autumn Leaves" pianist Williams played 14 straight hours at the Fashion Show mall on Nov. 17 to help spread awareness for music education and to raise money for Vegas PBS.
