Days

[Ron Nossaman]

Now Richard, I really don't understand your indefensible insistence that a
manufacturer was actively trying to deafen you, as an excuse for not
performing a scheduled tuning. I know that's hard to admit, but it's the
sad truth. The fact that you have stubbornly refused all these years, to
invest, whatever the cost, in the equipment necessary to do high level
professional work under impossible circumstances means that you are hard
headedly and narrow mindedly refusing to throw yourself on whatever sword
is offered in order to make that single tuning fee. Shame be on you and
your profession as a result of your dereliction, sir. You have abandoned
the faith. A buck is a buck is a buck, and as an alleged professional
service provider, all jobs offered you must be cheerfully engaged without
regard to the equitable return in final result against cost in time,
equipment, mortality, or torchlight parades across the Moors just ahead of
the scythes and pitchforks. You are, I see, currently engaged in attempts
at defending yourself in light of your heretical attitudes and villainous
actions. This is as it should be. Having attended a few of the evening
receptions at Arlington this year should have made it abundantly clear to
you that there is no such thing as "too noisy" for truly professional piano
service people. We shall all try our best to forget this indiscretion - and
will eventually, but it will require your unreserved and total
participation and compliance. We will tolerate no further displays of this
sort. You have been warned, sir!
