This story reminds me of last quarter.  I had the D sounding beautiful 
the day before the gig and was scheduled to come in two hours before 
the curtain to touch up after the sound check.  When I got there, the 
lid was off, the lights were on full for hours, and the sound check 
went way over.  The piano was hot to the touch and had totaled the 
tuning, of course.  They gave me a whopping fifteen minutes to "touch 
up".  I blasted through it as the crowd came in and took their seats at 
the top of their lungs.  Yeah, the crew and artist were understanding.  
I even had friends  come up to me later laughing about the way I looked 
up there.  The only drag was that this concert was recorded live for a 
national radio broadcast.  (I didn't listen to the show when it was 
aired)
