<DIV><BR></DIV>
<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>
