People -- Best Part of the Business

[Farrell]

Let's see. I traded a tuning for a square grand........not sure who came out ahead on that one.

I traded a tuning and pitch raise for a couple hours of massage. I KNOW who came out ahead on that one! (Gave the massage gift certificate to my wife.)  ;-)

Bartered some major automobile work for restringing a small grand. Car then died. I wonder if it lasted longer than the geese?
