George Winston contract

[Fred Sturm]

I'll ditto what Cris said. I've tuned for him a few times. Very nice person 
to deal with, very appreciative. Very particular about unisons. Definitely 
will want unisons touched up during intermission. He'll even mark them for 
you, with some wedges. As long as you have a reasonably nice piano to begin 
with, I wouldn't worry about it. But do try to do your very most stable and 
clean work.
	The midnight rehearsal is normal for him, but that's the stage crew's 
headache.
Regards,
Fred Sturm
