Yup, it happens.
I got a call last week. Three church plus the pastor's home - could you do
by Easter?
As it turns out, Good Friday was open. Yes, can I book them?
How much? (it's been about 5 years since they called me - somebody else has
been doing them)
$xx.00 each.
Any discount for the church pianos?
No. [I happen to feel that I do just as much, and many times _more_ to a
church piano, why should I get paid less?]
I'll have to ask church council.
{I'm still waiting breathlessly by the phone} ;-}
Looking forward to a day off............
