Andrew's Piano

Andrew Miller ends up alone in a dark and dingy corner of a bronze casting foundry as the IRS auction of its contents rages on about him. He finds what appears to be parts of a large piano, covered in years of foundry dust, hidden behind a big boiler. In the semi-darkness of the boiler’s shadow he was able to carefully examine the parts as the auction approached. He felt a sensation as he touched the curve of the case that was so compelling he knew he must obtain the parts and restore the piano.

Andy, with his wife Jan, had moved to Loveland, Colorado just over a year ago. He to restart his career as a sculptor and she starting a new one in Real Estate sales. They were both approaching their fifties and were starting over as fear as financial health was concerned. The entrance of the piano into their lives complicated this effort but leads to new friendships and provided Andy, and all involved, an exciting adventure as the magic of the piano unfolds to him. It had started at the foundry, lasted throughout the restoration and culminates with him able to play his piano at the highest level.
