Showed up a day early, the lady said, "Oh, I forgot you were coming today!" which I hear all too often even when I'm coming at the right time ... then I got home and found the "Where WERE you??" message. Luckily the next day's now-empty slot worked for her. The worst was when I mistook a name, missed an infirm and elderly customer here in town, went to an 85-year-old piano teacher nearby instead, with a similar name. She was surprised but cordial, I thought SHE had forgotten the appointment because of senility -- but it was my own --- arrrggghh, and I'm four years older than that now! It just took me five minutes to remember both their names. <groan> Pauline Young and Polly Locke, bless them. One has died, the other moved away, but probably gone now. Not forgotten ---- _quite_. I do remember Polly's 1885-ish upright, where the action and the keys had to come out as a unit. That was really interesting, not to mention heavy and awkward. sssssssssnnn
