"Temporary" voicing

[Newton Hunt]

I understand completely.  I been there and done that.

It makes me feel like I have just vacuumed the floors and someone comes and stews
dirt and mud all over the place just to be "indifferent".  Then I have to clean up
all over again.

Of course tuning is like that isn't.

And it's worse on the concert stage.

I am just getting cankerous in my old age. :)

My commiseration.
