ETD'S and vacuum cleaners

[RON MAY, RPT]

As usual

Whenever someone looks for help on any  list this size there is always some 
wise---- out there that thinks it's funny to "blow dust" at the questions.

Hopefully, when you reach 71 years, you will have learned one of Braid 
White's quoted sayings "He who has a trade, has an estate" and you will 
arrive at the place that I hope you are working for where  you don't have to 
finance your ETD and you will be able to tune pianos totally out of the love 
of the art and artists and not out of having to pay for an etd.

I am sorry to say that I never realized what I had as a tuner until the day 
came when I reached retirement age and found out that I didn't have to do 
it. Every week I have Doctors, Lawers and other professional retired people 
telling me how fortunate I am that I have something to do that I love that 
keeps me busy. I've told many of my customers that if they find me dead at 
their piano--not to worry,  I went happy.

I wish you all this great happiness.

NOW!!! If I am going to buy and end my days looking at one of these ETD 
vacuum cleaners, well someone please tell me which one sucks up the most 
dust.

Now Be Good Kids
