john tesh concert

[Barbara Richmond]

Hmmm, could it have been Tesh's own instrument suffering the rigors of being
a traveling piano?

That concept of tone is a big issue.  Come on, don't you all know that tone
which is bright enough to shave with is superior?!!   (cough, choke, wheeze)
;-)

Or, perhaps the piano sounded fine to the stage manager.  It happens.

I remember having a discussion with the person in charge, after I learned
that a piano had been used for a concert without being worked on...........

It turned out OK, but it was hair raising on my part when I heard about it.
