Ya, I have to say I do feel a bit better.  I'm used to working with stuffy
pianists but these and a few other particulars just struck me as a bit odd.
Interesting hearing some of your tales though. I particularly got a kick out of
the Mark Graham's "This one's in tune, this one is not" story. I think he also
wins the prise for his closing statement:

"The real professionals don't have to tell you they're professionals --
at least not more than once."

Well said, Thank you!
