<div>Missed you, too (and am honored to be on a list with such distinguished folks!).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>And what a grand event it was. The national convention will be hard pressed to meet the high standard set at WestPac 1!<br>

<pre style="font-size: 9pt;"><tt>Ladies and Gentlemen of the list----I am sad to say I won't be seeing my
treasured colleagues this weekend at WESTPAC; I've had a long-arranged volunteer
leadership commitment for Saturday and Sunday. My protege, Erik Diehl, will be
there in full array, so DAP will at least have some representation and I'll have
an eyewitness download on Monday or Tuesday.....
It's not until today, when I realize how much fun you piano geeks are having,
that it hurts to be not there, seeing your shining faces, laughing at your dumb
jokes, being awed by your goodness and depth. I love our little tribe of
good-hearted obsessives, and I love, love, LOVE the learning and wisdom I always
receive from these events.
The good news is I'll see hopefully MORE of you lot in Kansas City, because
I'll be there teaching two classes, and in a booth with the Stanwood Adjustable
Leverage Action, or SALA.
Here's just a PARTIAL list of the West Coast Pianotech people I'm thinking of
and missing being with today:
The Erwin tribe
Alan Eder
Geoff Sykes
Mark Schecter
David Love
Jurgen Goering
Joe Garrett
Ryan Sowers
Dave Davis
Del Fandrich
Tom Cole
Gene Nelson
Rob Mcall
Paul Mcloud
Fenton Murray
Bob Davis
Hoist one and toast one for me, my friends.......
