A funny instance happened?at a nursing home, although it had nothing to do with me, per se. As?I was tuning in the dining hall right after lunch, a couple of ladies were quietly sitting reading a book.?But one was walking around, talking very loud, but?using very unlady like language.?Let's just say a sailor would have blushed. At one point, one of the quiet ladies asked of the loud one, "will you please be quiet?" Upon which the loud?lady said,?"Well, why don't you just kiss my ass". It was all I?could to do from bursting out laughing. ?

One lady continued to swear off and on about my tuning, for me to stop that is.? On one occasion, I was trying this ear plug sample and I could hardly hear this group of people complaining.? On yet another occasion, the home had a parrot and it loved to yell every time I played a note. I had to kindly ask them if "we" could put the parrot in a different room.? "We" always keeps them on your side.? On another occasion at another nursing home, I was given lunch, chili and corn bread.? So I guess that made up for any annoyances whether past present or future.? Have a good one. Marshall ? Shed those extra pounds with MSN and The Biggest Loser!
