One Good Condemnation

[Farrell]

Ouch! My heart goes out to you. Practice your dance steps.

I have an appointment today to tune a baby grand. Seems the folks had a 1970s Wurly console that they were going to have tuned, but suddely Aunt Sally (or whoever) died and left a !!BABY GRAND!! (can you believe it!!) to them. It's an antique Brambach! (Good grief!)

I hope the Wurly is not there - otherwise how am I gonna explain that the console just might be a bit more piano than the other? Oh, well.
