My most memorable day in a nursing home was when I was regulating a console
at a smaller nursing home in a small town. I arrived as they were having
breakfast and went to work. The piano was right next to the TV in the large
gathering room so as I leveled and dipped and set letoff I was treated to a
variety of gameshow noise next to me. Soon it was time for lunch, which I
knew involved cabbage, I'd smelled it cooking all morning. After lunch they
all trickled back in to line up in front of the TV again but it was off now
because I was almost done with the regulation and ready to tune. So they sat
watching, in chairs and wheelchairs and one by one fell asleep. As I tuned
the "music" caused by the cabbage for lunch, from behind me became a rather
steady trumpeting.
A very different day indeed. <grin>
