Greetings,
When I arrived in Nashville in 1976, many of the studio pianos had been tuned, and only tuned, for years. Most of the work was done by non-sighted tuners. There had been a course at the Tennessee School for the Blind, and that is who was tuning music row. As I began getting around these pianos, I realized how much stuff there was in them. Guitar picks by the handfuls, but also the pills were amazing. I didnt' know there were that many different kinds. I think they were popular in the 50's-70's, and there were a lot of them, and a lot of roaches, (the kind with no legs).
There have been others, a missing son's medal, etc. ( I posted that sometime in Dec. '96), a snake, which I didn't ultimately have to deal with, and a large wad of money. And then there are some things which discretion dictates no mention, oops, too late...
Regards,
Ed Foote RPT
