<DIV><BR></DIV><FONT size=2>
<DIV>Greetings to all techs my Senior, Collegues, Junior & Rookies,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I would like to thank <U>everyone</U> for all the fine past, present and future piano suggestions, advice, jokes and plain 'ol good help. I would also like to thank techs that are my juniors and complete rookies, for the opportunity to offer help that I may bring to them as well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I think this forum is a great place enabling us be open and honest. It is uplifting to share piano stuff, sharpen knowledge and get excited over pianology and new ideas, (such as my pyro-piano)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> To share a part of my very personal (which my husbad calls crazy) view, but what I refer to as the way, way bigger picture, I just think about how much better the some of the musical frequencies from this planet sound to any ailiens listening to our sound out put! Sound waves never stop travellng, and <EM>we</EM> are the folk partially responsible for the universe sounding in tune! </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> I think of all the students, teachers, church/synegogue, aspiring and hobbyist pianists who can create, relax, study and discover the past, present and future of piano playing and how we enable this whole scene to function merely by our genuine care of their pianos. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> More seriously, I think of especially the less fortunate folks who are using up the remaining klunkers and the hours of enjoyment they can bring, as well as keeping youth out of drug or bigger troubles, by enabling them to have pianos that function. A piano that works is encouraging, even if it is a klunker or a spinet!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> As we remember the soldiers who fought and are fighting for freedom to persue the pleasures of piano playing, <EM>among many other persuits of happiness</EM> besides pianos in our country, I would like to wish a happy, safe and relaxing Memorial Holiday to all, and may all your goals and desires come true in pianology outcomes, and for personal and spiritual needs and fufillments as well. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Joy to all</DIV>
<DIV>God Bless you and your loved ones,</DIV>
<DIV>With love, respect and gratitude,</DIV>
