I scheduled a tuning with a women who I knew pretty well, but I had never
been to her house, met her husband or knew his first name.  I had only
written her name and phone number down in my calendar, so the morning of the
tuning I looked up her address in the phonebook (it had her name "Tom and
Theresa Elsey" -how many Theresa Elsey's could there be in this small town?
Two?) and when I arrived I could see the grand in the front picture window,
the husband was a little surprised that his wife had not told him I was
coming, but he showed me to the piano, asked me my advice on several things,
then walked out.  I pitchraised the piano, made some adjustments and left
the bill with him.. As I was driving away I checked my phone messages and I
had one from the husband of the lady I was supposed to have tuned for and
found out that there were two Theresa Elsey's in town and that I had tuned
the wrong piano.  The owner of the piano I had tuned was new in town and
glad I had tuned it and eventually paid my fee.  The other couple thought I
was a flake. Lesson:  When your working at full throttle, look up every now
and then.

    As I'm finishing up a woman enters the house and looks at me with much
    consternation and alarm.  "Who are you, and what are you doing in my
    house?"   I explain that her sister asked me to tune it for her, at
which
    she responded that she didn't have a sister, and would I please leave
her
    house, NOW!  To wind up the story, it turned out that the piano I was
    searching for was TWO streets north of Broadway, not ONE, and I had
tuned
    the wrong piano in the wrong house!

  YES, YES!!  Two thumbs up and a perfect 10 in my book!!
