The Piano Man

34 pp. | Walker | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-8027-8646-4 | Library ISBN 0-8027-8647-2
(2) K-3 The piano man's granddaughter proudly relates his pianistic triumphs in silent-film accompaniment, on Broadway, in medicine shows and vaudeville, and, after the talkies took over, in piano tuning. This is a heartening slice of African-American family history that is refreshingly short on role-modeling and long on joy and visual glamour, as provided by the beautiful glossy woods of Grandfather's pianos.
