An often humorous collection of stories and vignettes spanning over forty-plus years of piano tuning in Atlanta's music scene. Ranging from rock'n'roll to jazz - with bits of classical and other styles of music tossed in, this memoir takes the reader inside renowned concert venues, recording studios, and landmarks, along with institutions and private homes.
From the unique vantage point of a piano tuner, these encounters and observations offer a revealing look behind the curtain of the music industry and what goes on before the downbeat of a concert or the rolling of the tape in a studio, as well as the "ordinary" occasions with everyday clients. At the heart of the book is a joyful love note to the piano and those who contributed to its development as an essential musical instrument. Here's something that full-time, part-time, and never-time musicians are sure to enjoy!
