Stupid Mistake

[Avery Todd]

Well Susan,

Since others have, I will too.

When I was still learning, I was asked to tune a teacher's piano at her home.
She was active in the little theatre I was in at the time (in the Army), so
I did.

Well, of course, a string broke and I hadn't gotten to the point yet where I
had the necessary supplies to replace it. I was in the DC/Baltimore area at the
time and I think I called most of the techs in the area trying to get 
someone to
come out and replace the string. I finally did but I also got a lecture from an
older tech (I assumed at the time) about doing that kind of work before I had
the necessary supplies to "fix" things like this. Actually, he was probably
correct!

Needless to say, I didn't make any money on "that" call! :-)
