finger gunk poll :(

[Otto Keyes]

Not laziness at all, Michelle, merely energy efficiency.  Actually, matter
can be converted into energy.  In this case you could burn the piano.
However, any way you look approach it, energy is involved....but I would
prefer that it was someone else's in this case.  That's why I get my kids to
do this stuff.....wonder why they don't wannabeatoona?!  Enlist the
assistance of some eager undergrad. who realizes that the road to riches &
success in the performance world is paved with large boulders, so they see
and admire your work, and figure they can make a quick buck tuning pianos.
Let them try to wash it off first.  If nothing else, maybe they'll learn to
wash their hands more often.  Nothing like a little reality therapy!
