Texas!

[Barb Richmond]

Friends from Texas,

My husband is considering accepting a position in Palestine (that's
Palesteeeeeen!) Texas.  It would be quite a change in climate (not to
mention leaving my position at IWU--oh no!) and was wondering if
there's anything special I should know about servicing pianos in that
area.  For example, I *have* worked on pianos that transferred up here from
that part of the country (south & east Texas) that were. . . well . . .
bug infested.  Surely, that is not the case all the time (if so, maybe
I'll find a new career).  Does one just dump a can of roach proof inside?
Are there any other quirks to servicing pianos in that climate?

Thanks Y'all,

          to the choir, "When we sing, 'All we like sheep have
            gone astray,' might we please have a little more
              *regret* and a little less *satisfaction*??"
