Jim Wilson about his memoir Tuned In: Memoirs of a Piano Man: Behind the Scenes with Music Legends and Finding the Artist Within. “In Tuned In, I write about some of my favorite memories of singing Beatles songs with Paul McCartney, limo rides with Elton John, road trips with Carole King, and horseback riding with Dan Fogelberg,” Wilson says. Praise for Tuned In: “Tuned In is much more than I expected. With humor and insight, Jim shares his adventures and experiences with some of the world’s greatest music icons. His story is inspiring and relatable. Highly recommended.” Ray Romano, Emmy-winning actor “I adore this memoir so. A truly fascinating tale by a fascinating man.” Martin Short, actor, comedian, singer, writer Tuned In is an inspiring story of one man's relentless pursuit of a dream, and a revealing testimony to the power of music in all our lives. The unique confluence of Jim Wilson's two careers - piano technician/confidant to the stars and a globally successful recording artist - has led to extraordinary experiences with some of the world's most exalted music legends: singing Beatle songs with Paul McCartney, limo rides with Elton John, road trips with Carole King, and horseback riding with Dan Fogelberg. But beyond this everyman's unique telling of intimate celebrity tales, Tuned In is an inspiring story of one man's relentless pursuit of a dream, and a revealing testimony to the power of music in all our lives. Emerging from a troubled childhood in a broken West Texas home, a young man moves to Los Angeles to pursue fame and fortune as a singer-songwriter. He soon strays from his mission when his piano tuning sideline blossoms into a career as piano technician to the entertainment industry's biggest names.
