First paying job was: Overdamper supporter

[Barbara Richmond]

Ha!  I've tuned two (in 23 years)!  One of them was my <first paying job> in
Dallas, Texas as a piano tech after getting out of school.  Oh man, what a
first appointment.  I remember saying to myself, "Oh no, not one of these!"

But, at least I knew what I was looking at and had an idea of how to work on
it.  The pretty little thing belonged to a friend of my aunt, who was nice
enough to round up some business for me so I could afford to drive home to
Illinois (otherwise she would've been stuck with me for a while).

Barbara Richmond, RPT
