Amarillo to Host Author of ''Tuned In''

Did you catch the Art And Music Guide's review of Jim Wilson's autobiography four months ago?

Tuned In has lots of stories about the piano technician's famous clients, ranging from Herbie Hancock to Dan Fogelberg. Jim is also candid about his difficult upbringing. 

This week Jim has a couple of events coming up in his hometown of Amarillo, Texas. The first one is a Friends of Dan Fogelberg concert, which will raise funds to fight prostate cancer. It will be held at the Amarillo Civic Center on the sixth of September, and starts at 7:30 p.m.

The following day, at 2 p.m., Jim will be at Arts in the Sunset for a book signing/reading. In addition, there's to be a wine and cheese reception, and it is free to attend. 

A portion of the musician's proceeds will be donated to AJ Swope, a foundation devoted to community-based projects which enhance Amarillo and the Texas Panhandle. 

At both events, autographed copies of Tuned In: Memoirs of a Piano Man will be available for purchase--as will CDs, T-shirts, and songbooks.
