The rest of you may not know that Don spent many a year selling Wurlitzer organs & pianos at the several Wurlitzer Music Stores in the greater Boston area (and probably other brands in other venues). Back in 1979-1980 I was the green rookie doing floor tunings as the organ salesmen cranked up the volume ("Whaddaya need that SOT for, aintcha got ears??!!"). Don's been a self employed piano tech for a long time now, so he's been on both sides of the fence. Happy New Year, Patrick Draine Billerica, MA
