[CAUT] they stayed :o

[michelle stranges]

Sorry to get off subject of recent tragic events here folks- but I just got 
back from tuning a LOVELY couple's St. L and they once had some technicians 
(who will remain nameless, but who I knew of so that was impressive) who 
took VERY good care of their piano and that they were *quite* happy with 
them.

Now it was me.

(and if that wasn't enough....)

They BOTH stayed in the room and watched me.

Now usually it's one person- and they hang around for a bit and then take 
off when they realize that yes - that *IS* the only song I know how to 
play..

:D

We chit chatted a bit and had a good time but I sure was up against a huge 
history of competant technicians that they had in the past as well as them 
watching me work.

I tried to do my usual thinking though...

- what am I eating tonight
- TGIF
- do I have enough Guinness
- MAN!- I gotta get my oil changed
  etc..


And of course the recent events that are quite disturbing to say the least.



In my mere 10 years of working on pianos I never had *2* people planted on 
a couch and chair watching me throught the WHOLE thing.

(And let's not forget about how when I got to the last octave and a half I 
did my usual standing up... talk about being self conscious!!!! Wasn't much 
to look at then but my backside!!!
(Please keep jokes on THIS subject to a minimum...)

:o

Self conscious in Oswego,
