I had an = evening (dark out) service call scheduled at 123 W. Fate St., but being = unfamiliar with the area, pulled up at 123 E. Fate St. Knocked on the = door, young daughter-type answers the door "Hello, I'm Terry Farrell to = service your piano". She responded "Oh, okay, come on in - the piano is = right over here". So I sit down and start opening up the piano, etc. = After a few minutes the parental units appear and ask what the $#&% I'm = doing. You know the rest of the story at that house (they settled down = after they, and I, realized I should have been two blocks over). So I go over to 123 W. Fate St. and spend a couple hours wrenching on = some old POS that hadn't been tuned in decades for some $#&% young = male-type. He pays with a check. I deposit the check a couple days later = and it bounces. He disappears from the face of the earth. That still is the only bad check I have ever received in this business.
