Short, true, and a little bit funny
Real stories from 20+ years of tuning pianos, told deadpan.
"Living like Dolly would": the Raleigh piano man who played "Jolene" with Dolly Parton.
Randy isn't only a piano technician. He's a working musician who has shared the stage with Dolly Parton, so he knows exactly what a piano has to deliver when it matters.
