perfect pitch

[Elwood Doss]

Ken Medema...wonderful guy.  He has led me to some of my deepest
spiritual moments as a born-again believer through his music and
testimony.  He is a fabulous pianist, composer and singer, as well as
being a kind and gracious person.  Is he blind?  Who would know!  Check
out his recording of "Moses!"
Joy!

I tuned for Ken Medema several times some years ago. I met him the first

time as I was finishing prepping a Baldwin for him. He tried the piano,
we 
had a very nice conversation, and I left him so he could complete a
sound 
check. A year later I was called to tune a different piano at another
venue 
for him and when I said "hello Ken", he immediately replied, "well
Chuck, 
how are you?". Pretty impressive memory considering we had only a brief 
conversation a year earlier!
