Mr. Rohde and all,

How I do hope you are on target. However, with Willem's store closing I =
guess I'm left with the impression that at least a portion of our =
business is suffering.

My point was that in the past, industries would lay-off and cut back =
etc., but once the demand returned they'd get back on line and produce. =
Far too many of these factories are now out of country. Therefore the =
layed-off employees are out on the street, the buildings are boarded up, =
and people are fighting over lower paying jobs with fewer benefits. At =
least that's the story in my part of the country. If you are not =
experiencing this (yet), congrats, and the best of luck to you!

Roy

  Mr. Ulrich and all,
      I read with interest your comments on the "luxury" service that we =
provide withstanding a recession.   I've been in business through three =
recessions (late seventies, the one mid eighties, and the "worst economy =
in 50 years(?)" of the early nineties)  and we've found that the worse =
the economy becomes, the busier we become repairing pianos.  Has anyone =
else found this to be the case? =20
      Thanks for any input.
