Average person's perception....

[David Ilvedson, RPT]

When I was 23, with hair down to middle of my back, I told my father I was
interested in piano tuning.  He said "piano tuning"?   But he was smart
enough and desperate enough to shut his mouth and call the local Baldwin
piano dealer who referred him to PTG in Seattle who recommended WIT in Sioux
City, Iowa.  The rest is history folks...well. my history anyway...;-]
