Piano Tuners of the Amazon!

posted by Zed on November 14 2002 23:38

Give a man a tuna, and he'll eat for a day. But give an Amazonian tribe a grand piano, and it's going to need tuning.

It has been two years since British explorer Colonel John Blashford-Snell delivered on a promise made to the Wai Wai tribe's chief priest, Elijah.

Now he is leading the team to retune the mahogany instrument in the tiny settlement of Masakemari.

Colonel Blashford-Snell. How self-parodyingly British.

Dibs on the film rights.

(Thanks, Timprov!)
