The PTA is very much alive and kicking; it has no need to 'wake up'! If
you were to turn your attention closer to home you will discover that
there is a lot going on within the Association, plenty of activities
both pianistic and social and we even have our own List. Which is
probably where everyone else is, that is to say, they are not
participating in Pianotech because they have their own! I just came
here to have a look at what our US cousins are talking about.<br>
