Back in the 1930s, Boyd Lee Dunlop taught himself to play music on a broken piano left out on the streets of Buffalo, N.Y. Only half the keys worked.
He also taught his little brother Frank to play the drums while they were growing up. Frankie Dunlop went on to record with Thelonious Monk and Charles Mingus, among other jazz greats. Boyd Lee Dunlop went to work in the steel mills and rail yards of Buffalo, occasionally playing piano at local clubs. Click here for the rest of the story.
I am really impressed. I am a piano teacher and my oldest student is 72 years and he just started 4 months ago and he’s serious, focused and committed. I would like to invive you to our 2012 Spring Piano Recital, aparil 22 here in Washington DC. You may call me at @02) 269-0127.
Thanks and keep up the good work!!
