Tom, I've haven't been on the list in a few days, but I really appreciate your response to Duaine. We have a person in our chapter from Eastern Europe who bemoans the RPT status and whines about the effectiveness of the guild. Shortsided really, he forgets that I introduced him to the guy he bought his key machines from. He does beautiful keytop work and great work in general. I think the big issue is his trouble with the English language. Sometimes, we as people can be so stupid. How do I know this? Just ask me about my shortcomings ; - ) I hope your business is consistent. My customers keep calling and keep their appointments and this doesn't hurt the wallet. And I have a tech locally who is trusting me to install a soundboard in his Model B. Because of the guild, I know how have Dale Erwin as a mentor, Ray Negron and Jurgen Goering as new friends and I have a great chapter that is always helping me. I'm very happy to be a member of a group of elitist pig piano tuners ; - ) How are things? Are you installing SBs and have you used the Stanwood charts. This is such a fun business. Merry Christman and best wishes to you and your family. Starr www.saintpiano.com Tampa Bay Dealer for Charles R.
