Dear List,

I got to thinking about that "console across the room."  I was incorrect to
state that.  It was a move I did from one town to another with smooth
roads, the distance about 25 miles.  I tuned the piano before leaving.
When I arrived and put the piano in its new place, the tuning was
atrocious, like some pianos I visit that haven't been touched for five
years.

Thank you,
Keith
