Dixieland band ( college stipend ), tool inventor. At this time in that
order of dollars earned. And for time spent, it is piano related first
teaching second. Three years ago piano work was only a  * .

> Hi Wally,
> Sorry to hear about you immediate slow time.  This can come and go .  I
use

into

it

know

> 	On Thursday I was on the phone when I got home having only 2 tunings
> booked for Friday.  I first booked one in the early afternoon but was
> trying to get a 8 AM one to start the day.  I got a chance to book
another
> one late in the afternoon, I try not to do that but I felt desperate. 
That
> made 4 starting a 9:30.  Still that early morning time would be wasted. 
> Bingo, the phone rang with a person wanting a tuning and bingo into the 8
> AM slot so I wound up with 5 instead of 4, one more than I care to do but
> when you are desperate,, I accommodate.
> Consider getting into peripheral things around the piano that also give
you
