Great man, itīs wonderful to hear of your success. Things will only get better, not that theyīre bad now for you apparently. Just wait until your first concert tuning or CD! Thatīll come soon if you keep this attitude. Anyway, how are you doing on customer relations? Thatīs probably my specialty! <G> I got coffee, yoghurt, marinated herring, bread with honey, German bread, half a liter of light ale, chocolate and apple juice at a customerīs yesterday! Oh yeah, AND pancakes!!! I had to talk to them for an hour before they let me tune for them, at which time I couldnīt move, of course. I found a raisin under one key in their grand, Iīm glad they didnīt make me eat that too! Oh well you know, elderly couple. They just luv' the young'uns! Luckily, that day, I had the time to spare. Best regards, Kristinn P.S. You, of course, know the "glass of water" trick, donīt you? ;-) At 17:28 1.12.2000 -0800, you wrote: >I have been making a living as a tuner/tech since 2/00, and find that >things are REALLY picking up lately!
