Terry, This is my first response after "lurking" on the List for several months. As a novice at all things related to piano tech work I want to thank all of you on-line "teachers"! (including Kristinn, "king of the microwave"!) Just wanted to add my comments to yours regarding the book "Notes of a Piano Tuner". I went looking for it after hearing Garrison Keillor read an excerpt from it on MN Public Radio a couple of years ago, and like you, read it straight through. This was at a time in my life when I was trying to decide if I should just 'hunker down' and stay in my nursing job, or follow this dream I had of learning piano work. I had already made plans to drive down to Arkansas for a vacation and had arranged with Kent Webb to visit the Baldwin factories, so I phoned Denele and asked if I could meet her while I was there. We ended up spending a few hours together one afternoon while she did a couple of tunings out in the beautiful hills of NW Arkansas. What a treat! If you're reading this Denele, thanks again for the time and encouragement! I look forward to reading the posts to this List - thanks again to all of you! Meredith Pritchard, associate Rochester, MN
