Without giving away the content of this video before it is seen, suffice it to say that the viewer will long remember this tender World War II story as recounted by 84 year old, Connell York, piano tuner, in his own words, and through a memorable song.
Remember that “Mice, Moths, and Moisture” are a piano’s worst enemies!

This was a lovely and brought a tear to my eye. Thanks for sharing Mr. York’s story with us all!
Hi Chuck, I showed Aviva your comment and she was thrilled to receive it. She wanted me to tell you that she had updated the video with a necessary edit, so right now the video in the form she’s happy with. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovuumO1VA7k Up next will be the part two segment where Mr. York entertains with a bundle of warm, very humorous piano related stories. It’s worth more than a few chuckles. Stay tuned.
