[CAUT] Fwd: Grammy award

[Michael Wathen]

Quit with the apolgetic disclaimer.  We all would love to know who is doing
what.  As a professional technician who has worked on recordings before, I
have often wondered which technician did the work.  Musicians don't act like
this. They take full credit. We know that a certain amount belongs to us,
who have prepared the piano as a vital link to their success.  So, blown
your horn without guilt.  Congratulations!

    To Whom it may Concern:
    Sometimes news happens that needs to be shared. At this past Sunday's
Grammy awards, the winner in the classical music category for "Best
Instrumental Performance with Orchestra" was pianist Angelin Chang, with the
Cleveland Chamber Symphony, in a performance of Olivier Messiaen's 'Oiseaux
Exotiques'. I thought you'd like to know that I was the piano technician for
the recording. It's not my intention to 'blow my own horn' as much as it is
to remind us that the tuner is often the unseen artist, and also to remind
us that sometimes our efforts get rewarded in ways we never expect. Thanks
for all you do.
    Best,
