<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>There is a restaurant near here =
called "The

put a Pianocorder in it for the dealer that sold it. In just a =
few
months the bass strings went dead. Yamaha paid me to put new =
ones in
and provided the strings. In a few months they went dead. =
I think
the grease in the air did them in. Great ribs. =

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway the full name of the place =
was
"The Cats diminished fifth" It was owned by a couple of =
lesbians and
was originally a stage coach stop on the way to Santa Cruz (read
bordello). Still a popular place. I don't want to get =
involved
because musicians beat the hell out of a nice piano. I tuned a =
piano
