<div>The first year I was in business, I was a pretty clever guy.  (Now I know better...)  Since my last name starts with an 'S', I knew I'd be listed near the bottom, so I registered my business under the name, "A-4-dable Piano Tuning".  Get it?  "A-4"?  As in A-4 the tuning note, A440?  And at the same time, Affordable?  Get it?</div> <div> </div> <div>Yeah, well, nobody else got it, either.  I kept getting calls for A For Dabble Piano Tuning, and the whole thing was just a mess.  I still get a call now and then for A For Dabble, although it hasn't been listed in the book for a good 8 or 9 years.</div> <div> </div> <div>I was first in the book, though.  </div> <div> </div> <div>Tom Sivak</div> <div><BR><B><I>Joe And Penny Goss <imatunr@srvinet.com></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1543" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I can see it now Aardvark Piano Tuning a division of Terminix <G></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>its late.</FONT></DIV> <DIV>Joe Goss RPT<BR>Mother Goose Tools<BR><A href="mailto:imatunr@srvinet.com">imatunr@srvinet.com</A><BR><A href="http://www.mothergoosetools.com/">www.mothergoosetools.com</A></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=pianotune05@comcast.net href="mailto:pianotune05@comcast.net">pianotune05</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">Pianotech List</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Friday, May 26, 2006 10:23 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: yellow pages ad/Dr. Sivik</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Our book uses the alphabetical system.   So unless I change my name to an "A" name, I'll remain in the same spot.  Of course, if a tech stops runing his ad who is before me, then I graduate to his spot.  Since I like my last name so much, I'll just stay put I guess.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial>Marshall</FONT></DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=Lhadeh@wmconnect.com href="mailto:Lhadeh@wmconnect.com">Lhadeh@wmconnect.com</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">pianotech@ptg.org</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Friday, May 26, 2006 10:51 PM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> yellow pages ad/Dr. Sivik</DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV><FONT face=arial,helvetica><FONT size=2 PTSIZE="10">Dave, congratulations on your advancement from number three to number one in the Yellow Pages listing. <BR><BR>Now, I'm wondering how the new number two is taking this change. <BR><BR>Loren Hedahl</FONT> </FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>
