Sure was sweet of you, Alan. :-) One of my customers mailed me a poem a couple weeks ago about how her piano sounds after I finish tuning. I was thinking to post it here, but have lost it in the flurry of activity around my crazy house. It will surface eventually.

Got to talking cookies (she was baking) and she said she wanted a recipie for thin oatmeal cookies. Well, my mother used to make the best, so I said I'd email the recipie, which I did. Here is the recipie for all my friends in Listland plus her response. Anything to build client loyalty and referrals! Thanks Alan. I get so many perks from my piano tuner.
