Here's an amazing story. Hang with me, it will be worth it.

See the little boy in the picture dressed in the suit, watching Max playing the piano? He was there with his family last night at the Dueling Pianos event. He was mesmerized while watching how the piano worked because he has just started taking piano lessons but has been using an electronic keyboard.

He wondered where you plugged in the piano to the electricity. His mom explained that real pianos don’t need electricity. He really thought long and hard on how that could be possible.

If you are just hearing about this or maybe didn’t get that the second piano we moved into Taroko Restaurant for the show was one that had a great history and had belonged to Armand Girard a famous American vocalist and radio singer. Mr. Girards family was present last night at the event and enjoyed one last performance of his piano before it was scheduled to be given to an older lady in town who intended to start giving piano lessons on it.

We picked up, and packed up the piano earlier today and when I called the intended recipient; she regretfully had to decline accepting the piano. The next person on the list to receive a piano was a gal named Samantha, so I gave her a call and explained that a piano had just come available and was ready for delivery. She became super excited and mentioned that she had just attended a Dueling Pianos event at a restaurant in Redding last night where her young son was "mesmerized" by watching the pianists, and was so excited that he wanted to wear a suit to the event.

Well you guessed it; this same little fellow is now the owner and steward of the Mr. Girard's piano where it sits in his living room, and who knows what the future holds for this kid, and a piano with such a great history.
