Andy Taylor Performing in Tombstone AZ
By Andy Taylor

Hi Everyone,  I am currently playing the piano in Tombstone, Arizona,
in "Big Nose Kate's" historic saloon, and having a blast in the town
of the famous gunfight at the OK corral.

The old piano is a 1902 Krell and, with a little care, it is making
music again.  I worked on the thing for a week just to get it playable.
The old unit doesn't sound bad, but the saloon owners didn't like the
"in tune" sound, so I threw every top unison off just a little, and
everyone is happy (but me)!  (Clang, Clang!)

If anyone is in the Tombstone area on the weekend, drop by and I'll be
happy to treat you with some good old fashioned honky-tonk music on
this deliberately mistuned piano.

Several people have asked if I will continue to arrange piano rolls.
The answer to that is yes, but sometime in the future.

Andy Taylor
Tombstone, AZ
