"It was just spectacular, the acoustics at that location, and I guess it's just a mysterious kind of place with these pinnacles jutting out of the ground."

Please boost if you:
- like pianos!
- like to read well-written non-fiction!
- like to support writers!

My friend Scott is β€œthe piano tuner for all the great jazz and classical pianists in Vancouver.” He’s almost finished writing his book about β€œthe secret life of pianos.” I’m helping him promote the book pre-publication because I want him to be focussed on writing not marketing. I really really want to read the final chapters! (The book has been a fun and informative read so far.)

To get an advance copy of the first chapter, free, please see http://dontshootthepianotuner.com
