In ââ?¬Å"Tuned In Memoirs of a Piano Man,ââ?¬Â? readers will meet author Jim Wilson, piano technician to many of the most celebrated names in popular and classical music, and an accomplished composer and performer in his own right. Wilson takes us ââ?¬Å"Behind the Scenes with Music Legends and Finding the Artist Within,ââ?¬Â? sharing his life story from his 1960s Texas childhood and all through his career trajectory in the decades that have followed. Along the way, Wilson worked with, connected with, and in many instances, befriended the extraordinary talents whose compositions and performances created what for many of us, his contemporaries, are the soundtrack that formed both the backdrop to our youth and to our most memorable life events.
Most readers are aware, and likely fans of the musical luminaries the author writes about; people like Carole King, Phil Collins, Paul McCartney, Elton John, and Jackson Browne, to name just a very few of the significant many in Wilson�s life. Yet it�s very possible that we don�t know of him and his own accomplishments, and little of the extraordinary interconnectedness of the musical scene and industry, especially its two centers, Los Angeles and London. Wilson was there for it all, an essential resource for nearly any artist who owned or played a piano and became through his work relationships the ultimate inside man. He is the person who saw and heard musical history as it was made and popular culture as it evolved.
Wilson�s memoir is not just a collection of anecdotes for fervent fans: it is an exploration of his own evolution and ambition and his need for self-expression through music. It is also a story of his fractured family. While some of the scars Wilson bore from his childhood healed over, he also relates the pain and loss he suffered, his regrets, and how he learned to move forward and evolve, despite those difficulties.
The author effectively grabs the reader�s attention with the book�s prologue, an account of his 1985 meeting with Paul McCartney, one of his idols, complete with a color photo. It�s the perfect opening to this very enjoyable and candid memoir, so personably written that you feel you could be sitting down for a long chat and story swap with an old friend.
From there, the book takes us through Wilsonâ��s early years, and then the ups and downs of his remarkable career, told in a very intimate one-to-one style. Itâ��s a highly enjoyable account of a life that hovered on and often shifted into, the exclusive and elusive world of the most creative and highly successful musicians of one of the most storied periods in popular music. For anyone who is contemporary to Wilson (a mid-range Baby Boomer born in the 1950s), many aspects of his childhood, youth, and adult years will feel remarkably familiar through his allusions to the cultural references so prevalent in the American scene. His highly descriptive and often lyrical accounts of his experiences are truly almost like being there, as though you might be a passenger in his back seat or the neighborhood friend who can drop in for a potluck dinner and an evening of reminiscing â�" itâ��s that intimate.
One of the most remarkable aspects of ââ?¬Å"Tuned In: Memoirs of a Piano Manââ?¬Â? by Jim Wilson is the extraordinary attention to detail. Whether Wilson kept extensive diaries or has an incredible memory of his experiences, we, his readers, and music fans, are the lucky ones who can enjoy his fascinating and resonating life story.
