I think it's kind of funny myself, but I fear that whatever I put in print could possibly be used in reviews of the book. I don't want to contradict the author as he was very kind in NOT using things for this book he could have! I had started to tell the story in my post, but deleted it before sending it, because it dawned on me just how difficult it is to write about someone else, especially someone well-known that you like, and not make them look like something they don't want to read about themselves. After all, he did extend this courtesy to me. At least I can own up to being the person he wrote about. He certainly could have done a piece on rompin, stompin piano technicians had he wanted to! Maybe I'm just too full of myself. But I do recollect us arguing a LOT at this meeting. Since I did not know him from Adam, pardon the pun, I really let him have it. I'm not a morning person and I get extreme heat sickness in the summer so I start my first call at 6:00 am. This was when the first encounter took place, so you can imagine my demeanor. He was unusually inquisitive for your average customer, and challenged everything I tried to tell him. We got into it over his cat! Apparently though, he must have believed me, as he devotes Chapter 6, to this encounter. From my point of view, I am delighted that what he heard is what I thought I said! If folks are really interested, I'll try to write something acceptable!
