The remarkable story of an World War II-era adopted boy who rode his bicycle miles to take piano lessons at a farmhouse speaks of the persistence and resilience of today’s guest, octogenarian Wally Jones. In short, it is the kind of story that movie producers would jump at. Eight decades later, he is booked out over a dozen times a month! Jones’ Liberace-style mix of inspirational, traditional, gospel and sing-a-long music lands in the ears of audiences in churches, assisted living facilities and special events. His genius are the “Wallyisms”: the dazzling arrangement embellishments that leave goosebumps. His youthful looks and enthusiastic manner belie his approach to his ninth decade. Listen to the wise advice of a man who has come a long way from those country roads.
