Hosts Tad Fitch and J. Kent Layton are joined by Patrick Cornelius Vida, the President of the RMS Olympic Steinway Association, and founder of The White Star Line Quintet. Patrick shares the ongoing efforts to preserve the historic Steinway piano from Olympic’s À la Carte Restaurant and ensure it remains accessible to the public. He also delves into the origins and mission of The White Star Line Quintet, a group dedicated to reviving the music of Titanic and other White Star Line vessels. Through their performances, the group plays a vital role in supporting the piano’s preservation. The episode also explores how listeners can get involved and contribute to this unique preservation project.
