I know Ric, I was just funnin' you. I agree. It will be what it will be
regardless of how badly some one else wants it to be something that isn't
possible under the circumstances. Some concession to reality has to be made
eventually, even in a concert venue. Oh, and chasing the Holy Grail of a
piano that stays on pitch through the temperature and humidity changes from
the lights and crowds ought to be worth full Union Scale if anything.
