And it's easy to believe her sincerity and enthusiasm. Janice is something of a musical institution in the local area. She has frequently played at the Weber Club in Ogden as well as at Chamber of Commerce functions. She has played so often for the Utah Air Force Association that she was made an honorary AFA member. Of her weekly stint at the Officers Club, she says, "I adore it. It's the most fun job I've ever had." I find the people are most interesting. And there's a lot of job satisfaction. People come in here every Sunday with their families. I get to know them by sight and all their favorites. I may not know their names but I do know their songs."
