Julie,

Whew, I'm glad to hear that it was a comedy routine!  As a young woman =
starting out in this field (and a couple times later), I found myself in =
some not so funny circumstances.  Not that the problem is specific to =
piano tuning, of course.  Creeps can be found anywhere as stage =
managers, security guards (oh, my!), custodians, or just plain old =
drunks at home--you name it.  All common sense and self-defense rules =
apply.

Barbara Richmond, RPT

  Well, Julie,
      It's been a while. Several years, actually. The old "dog-in-piano" =
gag was from a so-called comedy album of some sort, I forget by whom.=20
      At least you're amused. It was a lot more common before caller ID =
and star-69.=20
     You're not alone...............

    hello list,

                A young guy called me Saturday night around 9:45 and =
told me his dog jumped in the piano and could I help him get him out. He =
sid the dog was out of control and biting him when he stuck his hand in =
there.=20

                 I told him that he had a dog problem and not a piano =
problem. There was no resonant barking from inside a piano in the =
backround and he said he didn't want to leave the dog in there =
overnight. I told him I was sorry I am not an animal professional and =
hung up.

                  Since I am a rookie I wasn't expecting this, but I =
really could have had fun with this call. Later, I thought I should have =
told him to get a big piece of meat and lure it out. How do you handle =
these calls?=20

                  It is refreshing to know that not all teenagers are =
out getting into serious trouble and still creative enough to make these =
calls


    rookie Julie
