Rottweiler in Piano

[John Ross]

Hi Terry,
This is a "story", that comes up now and again. It is a complete
fabrication.
Let's face it he would have to know if it was a grand or upright.
The last time this came up on the list, someone mentioned that it was in the
lyrics of a song.
You gave him the proper response though, by saying he should call, Animal
Control.
Mine came in on my business line as well, and I didn't appreciate paying for
a crank call.
Regards,
John M. Ross
