Ted,

Truly, about any story you could tell would be worth hearing! When I've been
in your convention classes a couple of times, you've been teaching and
started telling a story but then you stopped, saying that you were "getting
off track" possibly thinking that we wouldn't like to hear your story, but
many of us were at the edge of our seats waiting for such stories! Your
"memoir's" are priceless. I don't think anyone else in the world has the
wealth of anecdotes that you have to share of "our" world. 

While many "on line" may only want to know the best way to do this or that,
etc. every now and then a good story about actual human beings keeps me
connected to why I became a piano technician; It's less about the piano and
more about the human experience. Please don't hesitate to share.

Most respectfully yours,
Jim Busby

Thanks Avery; it's nice to hear from you. I have my own story too, don't we
all, but it takes so long to tell I will not bother anyone with it. I came
as close to complete disaster as could ever be imagined, but it all came
right. I was tuning for a duo piano concert and knew the pianists well. They
never knew of the near calamity until I met them many years later and told
them.
