[pianotech] Canada's Oldest Working Piano

[Joseph Garrett]

Terry,
I know that the internet is kicking the sox off of Newspapers, etc., but
poor articles like that really are not going to help them survive! I
commented  to the editor, but doubt it will be taken into any kind of
consideration. Even gave the sucker my phone number in case he wants to
comment, etc.<G> I really would like to see a comprehensive article, with
good pictures and documentation! Perhaps one of the techs in the area could
shed some light and maybe, even, do the article on the piano, (I suspect),
it deserves. Sheesh! Who really cares about the little girls "colouring"?
Even the Pianist was slighted to some degree!
Regards,
