Junk Pianos - Dramatic Demolition

[Keith Roberts]

At the  Columbia Airport near Sonora Ca. they used to drop a piano from a
helicopter every year. Mostly uprights I think but if you want to see a
grand dropped send one out there and fly in. They do it at the "Father's Day
Fly In" Some one might have an old video.
Harry Henderson? What do you know Dale? Any video around?
