A conversation with Jim Wilson, the legendary piano technician, award-winning recording artist and author of Tuned In: Memoirs of a Piano Man. Wilson grew up in 1970s Amarillo before heading to Southern California to pursue a music career. He ended up becoming a "piano tuner for the stars" before helping develop the highly influential MIDI-adapter for the acoustic piano, and then composing and recording chart-topping piano works. Wilson tells host Jason Boyett about the journey into his multiple careers, his friendships with celebrities like Paul McCartney and Elton John, and how growing up in Amarillo gave birth to a lifetime in music and entertainment. This episode is supported by La-Z-Boy of Amarillo, Wolflin Square, Shemen Dental and Panhandle Plains Historical Museum.
