William: “where” house brings a smile to my face – are you talking about a warehouse or a whorehouse? :--) Will Truitt From: pianotech-bounces at ptg.org [mailto:pianotech-bounces at ptg.org] On Behalf Of Piano Boutique Sent: Thursday, February 14, 2013 9:07 AM To: pianotech at ptg.org Subject: Re: [pianotech] facial quirks Susan, When I worked in a where house, with other tuners, they would always be cussing and swearing at their pianos.
