This programme’s about a piano salesman who on the one hand helped the greatest armed forces on earth to a righteous victory and on the other hand helped the commission of one of the most vile crimes against humanity in history. So the lesson is, think twice before you invite a piano salesman into your house – you

could be biting off more than you can chew. This piano salesman was born in 1874 when the Stephen Foster song, Ring Ring de Banjo was popular.
