Wendell Shelton, of Enfield, N.H., plays the piano in the tunnel under the Lebanon Mall before his shift at Village Pizza & Grill in Lebanon, N.H., on Monday, Sept. 13, 2021. Shelton started learning to play piano when he was four but shifted to string instruments in his teen years and now plays bass in a death metal band. At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic he returned to his keyboard and started writing his own classical compositions, which he said is a different process than writing songs with lyrics. "It's like making a weird mental puzzle," he said. (Valley News / Report For America - Alex Driehaus) Copyright Valley News. May not be reprinted or used online without permission.
