Seven year old Greek pianist composes an “isolation waltz” in response to coronavirus.

Something of a prodigy, the young musician penned the beautiful waltz “for people who suffer and isolate because of COVID-19”.

“Big John” Livaditis, a hard-working, entrepreneurial, first-generation son of Greek immigrants, owned multiple Zestos in Atlanta, including the city’s first — a walk-up, ice-cream-only stand — which opened in 1949.

Later that same year, just a few years out of the Army, where he competed as a Golden Gloves boxer, Livaditis accepted a proposal from a tree grower and started selling Christmas trees in the parking lot on Peachtree Street at Brookwood Station.

Thus was established Big John's Christmas Trees, which helped fill the revenue gap during the holiday season when the demand for cold desserts tapered off.
