Records in piano

[David Ilvedson]

I think the "better way" is simply to do the best we can and not 
worry about it.  My mode of operation these days is simplify & 
downsize and so my record keeping is minimal if that much.  
Seems to me the most efficient way to keep track of my customers 
piano service, if I wanted to, would be at the scene of the crime?
