In a straight line from the 600-foot T-shaped pier offshore, on slightly elevated land, there is a small, three-story building, with a porch across the front and a cupola on top. This was Naples in 1890, and that structure was the Naples Hotel.

Playing continuously for the last 48 years proves his popularity as well as Gideons’ sheer talent and versatility. He knows just about every song ever written and can play any style, including show tunes, country, ragtime, oldies and light classical. He projects a real love of music in his performances.

No Abba samples, no edgy French producers, no politics. Madonna makes her least adventurous, yet nonetheless shrewd, move with her new “Hard Candy.” She enrolls producers The Neptunes and Timbaland, the guys behind seemingly every American pop hit in the past several years, plus frequent guest vocals by Justin Timberlake, arguably the most viable modern pop star.
