List: My dad plays very well, and often "entertained" the customer with some jazz, or whatever he was in the mood for. One time when he got done with a tuning, he played for about 5 minutes, and then handed the customer a bill for $40, and said, "that will be $10 for the tuning and $30 for the concert". Six months later, when he called to schedule the next tuning, the customer was very reluctant to set up a time. When he asked if she was unhappy with the tuning, she said: "no, the tuning was fine, and I didn't mind paying for it, I just didn't like having to pay for the concert". Willem Blees RPT St. Louis
