Tony,

Best of luck with the move.  Repeat after me:  "Change is energizing, =
change is good..."

  Hi List,

  After 18 years in Darwin Australia it is time to move on so in two =
weeks time I am leaving Darwin and going to Adelaide which is 3,000 K =
south.

  The hard part is that over that period you build up a clientele of =
friends as well as customers (intermixed) and knowing that the only =
other piano tuner ? in town is in it for the money only and can't do his =
job anyway makes it even harder. I have, in Darwin over 700 customers =
that I have to say that I will come back a couple of times to keep =
everything going and hopefully another respectable tuner will come to =
town to look after it.

  I am moving to Adelaide to start all over again which is quite a =
daunting task at the age of 64 but it is also exciting to be going back =
to where pianos are not steam baked in our super tropical climate. Its =
going to be an experience to work on and tune pianos that are in a =
relative stable climate again. (I might even remember what it is like to =
tune a piano in 40 minutes again).

  So if I have been a little terse with some of you may understand that =
I have been confused about many things for some time however, this list =
is the closest thing I have had to guild meeting of piano tuners or just =
companionship from fellow trades persons that can joke (hopefully only =
occasionally) but carry on conversations, in and out of the trade, that =
are worthwhile.

  Naturally I am carrying on as a subscriber but for the next few weeks =
I expect to be rather busy.

  Look after

  Tony
