Paul: I get to work at 5:30 every morning. Those are the best hours. It's quiet, I can get to pianos that are not available during the "normal" day. Then I get to leave at 1:30! Just get up and do it! :) dp David M.

Hi All, How many times does it happen that I find out the day before a "live" performance on PBS (local) radio for a concert at 9am tomorrow morning. Today's full!! I know now I'll have to come in at 6am. (I know..boo hoo for me..I picked the job :>) I remember many times in the private world where wealthy folks throwing a huge Christmas party with hired pianist....and forget to get the piano tuned until a day or two beforehand...but this is rediculous! The Lied Center is a professional concert venue and they should know that I'm not there at the drop of a hat. What do they think I do...just sit around and write e-mails to my collegues?!?!?! This is a really nice Steinway B...but I haven't tuned it for two months! Maybe 5:30am would be a better idea? What have you folks done in these situations? Thanks for advice...
