Reminds me of the time I installed a Pianocorder, (remember them?) in a
Kawai console in my workshop which was in an area behind the garage under
an apartment building.  One day a I ran into an resident who exclaimed, "
You play the piano very well, I have never heard such good rag time even on
records."  I replied, "You have good taste, you have heard the best".  He
looked me like I had suddenly gone on a supreme ego trip. I then explained
he was hearing player piano renditions as recorded by Scott Joplin, James P
Johnson and George Gershwin.    ---ric

. To make a long story short, when it was delivered,
| we discovered that a 'D' won't fit into our freight elevator.
| So, panic time, trying to find another room for him to
| practice in. Guess what I came up with? My shop! At least
| he pretty much has 24 hr. access to it with no other conflicts.
|
| So, when I've had to come in, I've been able to listen a little
| to the concerto. His wife, Pat, was thanking me yesterday for
| letting him use the shop and I told her it was no problem at
| all and besides, it might be good for my image for the students
| who don't know the situation, thinking that I might be able to
| play something like that! Yeah, right! :-) She cracked up.
