ONE of the features of the Quebec Winter Carnival this year is the ice sculpture of a well known American pianist by the name of Liberace. The likeness of the maestro was carved by a Canadian National Railways worker who, in his spare time, is an art student. The icy Liberace, including piano and candelabra, should last until around the first of April if Quebec City doesn’t thaw in the meantime.
