pianotech@byu.edu, August 12 Conrad (hoffsoco) writes that he wouldn't mind visiting Guantanamo again. Any tuner who doesn't mind donating tunings (the going rate in Havana is 40 pesos or about $1) can go cheap. Just go to a neutral country (Canada will do) and buy a tourist package, visa included, for a few hundred $$ for a week on a foreign planet. Thousands of U.S. tourists go yearly these days, and they won't stamp your passport so you can avoid trouble on returning home. It's mildly illegal (ten years in prison and $250,000 fine) and you can't actually go to the base from regular Cuba, but the U.S. law against travel to Cuba is so uncontitutional that no-one pays any attention any more, and who would want to hang around the base anyway when Havana's one of the best colonial cities in the Americas? This fall there will be a whole lot of rebuilding going on with Send A Piana to Havana. Anyone interested in sneaking over? Ben Treuhaft blt@igc.apc.org
