My mistake.....my lesson....a cautionary tale

[tune4u@earthlink.net]

Ya know, for every time someone tries to make you feel like a chump, there
are glorious moments to take away the sting.

I had a professional performer roll away the piano he had been
playing--which had been freshly tooned by a competitor--in favor of
finishing the concert on a little grand I had tuned three months prior. Or,
another time, another church, the traveling gospel performer who exclaimed
several times to the audience how wonderfully the piano sounded and
played--after I'd spent a day on a very neglected instrument that hadn't
been tuned in 4 years.

Guess we wouldn't know what was sweet if we never tasted the sour!
