Clyde, I don't play well, but I did grow up playing.

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,
