Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 213 (Wednesday, December 17, 2025) Tribute to Willis Delony Mr. President, the second thing I want to talk about, I just want to give an attaboy to a young man--he is not young anymore--that I grew up with. His name is Professor Willis Delony. I grew up with him in Zachary, LA. Professor Delony is a remarkable talent. God has blessed him with so much talent. He is the Boyd Professor of Piano and Jazz Studies in the School of Music at LSU. He has been there since 2000, 24 years. Before that, he taught at Southeastern Louisiana University and Delta State University. Professor Delony has earned worldwide acclaim. He is one of America's leading--if not America's leading--classical jazz crossover artists. Willis has also appeared--in addition to his teaching, Willis has appeared as a soloist, a guest pianist, an arranger, a conductor with orchestras throughout the United States, Canada, China, the former Soviet Union, all over the world, an immensely talented man. Professor Delony, my friend of many years--as I said, I grew up with him--he was just named to the Steinway and Sons Music Teacher Hall of Fame. That is a big deal. It is a big, big deal, and I wanted to spend a few minutes calling out one of Louisiana's best and brightest: Professor Willis Delony, who grew up in little old Zachary, LA, for his remarkable--remarkable--achievement. With that, I conclude my remarks, and I hope everyone has a merry Christmas and a happy Hanukkah, and I thank you for your time and attention. My work here is done. Mr. President, I was going to suggest the absence of a quorum, but I see the Parliamentarian over there wants me to call on my good friend, the Senator from Vermont. So I yield my time to the esteemed, legendary Senator from Vermont who is what cool looks like, Senator Peter Welch. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Vermont.
