[CAUT] touch-ups

[John Minor]

If I stay for the performance and hear something go out during
the first half I may go backstage to ask the performer if
he/she would like the piano touched-up. Most are happy for the
offer, and I think it gives the concert going public an
impression of the importance of our work.

I once asked Andre Watts if he would like the piano touched up
during intermission and he said, 

"No thank you. It would give the wrong impression."
