Before anyone accuses Marshall of thick-headedness or pooping outside the box, I suggest that we remember that he is sight-impaired and may be listening instead of reading, and may not realize that "Joy" is the Reverend Doss' usual "sign-off".

Other than that, I will continue to sit out this ignominious thread.

Thank you for seeing that I was not exercising freedom of speech or the lack thereof but rather saying, "Here is a clip, we should be aware of this sort of thing."  I'm glad you saw this as it was intended.  I almost lost hope there for a minute thinking that the open minds of folks were becoming more narrow as the years progressed, but you opened my eyes again to the fact that there are people like you, open minded and understanding out there.  Thanks again.

You guys did, but don't include me as part of the video. I just simply sent it for every to view.  Does this relate to pianos?

The next leader of this country will have an affect upon us.  Since "us" here refers to piano techs and those in the piano arena then indirectly this does have to do with pianos.  We need to think outside the  piano case and look at the world as a whole.   We are not one pixel but part of the big picture.    The fact I do not "own" the list as some folks here do does hold true in that if some of you posted something that wasn't 100% related to pianos, it would slide by like the occasional key that needs a little lost motion taken out, or that unison next to a break in the plate that won't stay perfect.  Again, Thank you Joy for seeing this as it was intended and my apologize to those of you who did not see it as it was intended.  Now drop the subject and enjoy that cookout! :-)
