Hi, Guy!

It sounds like you father has been seeing some of the same pianos I've
been seeing lately! One further acronym that I use quite frequently
when referring to BOTH pianos AND their owners is PITA. In moments
of real frustration, I occasionally have even been known to  write it
out on a receipt! NO ONE has ever asked me what it means. Perhaps because
they already know! :) LOL, ROTFL, <g>, (practice!)
