It's a highly transient 'burb on the other side of New Orleans inland sea called Lake Pontchartrain. About 35% of the people who call me here are just moving into the area. A lot have serious pitch problems due to being carted all over the world. So I get to do a lot of pitch raises, but I charge a lot for them so I make about 25% more on my pitch raise time than my tuning time. I love to do them! There's about ten in the New Orleans area and 4-5 not advertising Warren -- Home of the Humor List Warren D.
