[CAUT] they stayed :o > they _thought_ I slept....

[Susan Kline]

I was really tired, it's true ... this happened many years ago.

I had something to do to the action of a little crummy American grand -- 
you know the type.
I pulled the action, and didn't see a table to put it on. I don't know why 
I didn't put it on the piano lid -- too heavy? afraid of scratching it?

Anyway, I just put it on the floor. Then I think I was checking to see if 
some wippens were rubbing, or if the backchecks lined up with the hammer 
tails or something -- I ended up lying on the carpet, looking at it 
sideways. THEN the owner came in. She thought I was taking a nap on her 
living room floor.

I told her what I was doing instead, but I don't think she believed me.

ssssssssnnn
