<HTML><HTML>List Several of you have responded that if it weren't for rebuilding, store work,= or other sources of income you don't know what you'd do... Of course, I have other sources of income.  But I entered into this pi= anotech thing with the assumption that one day I'd be able to make a living = at tuning pianos.  Your responses lead me to believe that this may be = more difficult than I first thought/hoped. I recall my first PTG meeting.  I attended the informal dinner before = the meeting, and I asked everyone at the table, "Is there enough work out th= ere for me, and for everyone?"  A resounding YES from ALL at the table= was the response, and yet when the meeting began, the VP stood up (an outgo= ing jovial kind of guy) and called out to the membership, "How many here tun= ed a piano today?"  Half the room raised their hands.  Half the room. "How many tuned two pianos today?"  Less than a dozen.  "More than two?"  Maybe 4 or 5 guys raised their hands.  Out of = maybe 35 guys. It's times like this, when I have three tunings in three weeks, that makes m= e wonder if I've invested alot of time and money in a part-time job. Tom Sivak Chicago </HTML>
