Both Richard and I agree. Since I was the one to initiate this thread, I =
should probably be the one to end it, on my part anyway.  Nice posting, =
Ron. My respect for you grows daily, and it started out high in the =
beginning.=20
    I have to admit, that part of my original posting was due to =
frustration about now being allowed to do my job at the level at which I =
am capable. I truly love to make the pianos I work on sound great for =
these performances, and will pour myself into the task of getting them =
that way. But upon serious introspection, I think my own self respect =
caused my to react in the only way it could; with outrage that I held =
inside, out of the common decency that I try to show to everyone. (Most =
of the time, don't start with me..............)
    I spent years learning this art. Mind you, I didn't say "trade", I =
said ART.  And an art it is, it may be part science, part technical, =
part feeling, but in order to put it all together requires more than =
just technical skill.=20
    I think my problem was that these "elites" that put these things =
together treat us as no better than they would a busboy, and maybe they =
think that bringing a piano to fruition is nothing more than wiping =
fingerprints off a glass.=20
    Ron's got it exactly right. Charge them for every minute.=20

  Whatever character deficiencies you may or may not have, I dont see =
this as one
  of them. I wholeheartedly aggree, both with the standpoint and the way =
it was
  presented.
