<DIV><FONT face=Arial>You're right, any topic could come up, but that's good in
a way because it demonstrates that we are well rounded not simply one sided
piano techs although I'm a new guy on the block. I like the chip
idea. Let's use chips made from old piano key tops to make it more
interesting. :)</FONT></DIV>

face="Arial, Helvetica">Tonight, yes late this afteroon I had to tune a
Mason and Hamlin piano at a nursing home. The activities director said
that 5:00 was a good time to come because no one would be in the lobby to
disturb my tuning. Great I thought. Well I got there and no
piano in the lobby. I had to wait until someone at the front desk
could help me out. It was in the activities room. I found the
missing piano without a bench. Once I located the bench, I was able to get
started. It took me longer because I couldn't figure out how t get the
silly front music desk and front panel off until later on. It also had
regulating issues, dampers were too close to the strings and up in the
trebble area and made a thunk sound like a harpsichord. I had to
work with them quite a bit. <BR></FONT> <BR><FONT
face="Arial, Helvetica">Hers my point finally, :) I tuned with ear plugs the
ones from Diane here on the list. Diane if you're out there I need you
to send me your address privately so I can pay for these little life
savers. I was able to tune the piano during a bingo game! This
one old lady kept complaing about playing the darn, for list purposes,
piano. :) Thanks t o all of you out therewho recommend ear plusg
They're great! They filter out a lot of junk especially on my wife's
Kimball artist console. Thanks guys!<BR>Marshall<BR></FONT>

<DD><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica" color=#000080 size=2>Must be why the
Bible has references to the earth being round. <BR>
<DD>
<DD>Luis’ claim is a popular myth, but that is what it is, a myth.
There is much scholarship to demonstrate that throughout history the
view of a flat of earth was not widely held in the church, indeed, it
was quite the contrary.<BR>
<DD>
<DD>The Bible is the most published and most revered book in human
history. Its accuracy is unmatched by any other book of antiquity. If
you wish to poke fun at it and those who believe it by propagating
myths, be my guest. But it isn’t very tolerant. And it will elicit a
response from me. <BR>
<DD>
<DD>It will probably also elicit responses from others condemning me.
That’s fine, I can take it. Just be sure you equally condemn Louis’
statement or you might face the charge of being a hypocrite. <BR><BR>
