I have had a number of people tell me that they feel it's important that you be able to play the piano if you're going to work on it. Being the eternal diplomat that I am, I informed them that not all technicians come from a performance background like myself, and that it is my opinion that might be judging too harshly of the technicians abilities. The standard reply from that statement is: "..but I like to hear what it sounds like when you're done.." Folks, I don't make the rules..I just try to abide by them as best I can, -Phil Bondi (Fl.) tito@philbondi.com
