Many find their way, at no charge, to young aspiring musicians who otherwise would not be able to afford one. Thus far, Piano Angels has brought this gift of music to no fewer than 600 homes. Meet Pat and Pam Karch, the tireless duo who find and deliver these pianos. That’s on Write Stuff the next two Thursday evenings, Feb. 19 & 26, at 8 PM on KKRN 88.5 FM Community Radio.
