I too was visited by the archangel of the golden hammer who with outstretched finger declared, “you shall be a tunertech and all good things will come to pass wherever you may go”. And after forty years of wandering the desert in search of the lost guild, pursued by Bedouins tugging at my frock asking me to tune their golden harps at every oasis I finally gave in to my calling and led the minions to the promised land of narrow fifths and bottomless well temperaments. Say hallelujah. David Love www.davidlovepianos.com Wim, List, For some reason unbeknownst to me, paying bills and/or being hungry for business has never been an issue in my life. "No brag, just fact." (Will Sonnet) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0061259/ I basically tend to keep the spread between what I owe and what I might make far apart from one another. And continue to do so today, even more so. This eliminates having to changing tactics, so to speak, as that is my tactic. For the record tuning and repairing pianos is a calling for me that happened to become a business career. So I really don't understand the concept of trying to get business. It just happens where I am. If it didn't happen that way, something else would eventually materialize for me to do. I do realize that this isn't the case for some where tuning and repairing pianos is a business rather than a calling. I also know that there are numerous, necessary budget scenarios for others of which I don't certainly call into question. Everyone has to work out their own particulars when what they are experiencing don't pan out. Sincerely, Keith McGavern, RPT
