I used to do some work at the 29 Palms MCAGCC, but I = never had an audience like that.=20 Snappy commentary, by the way. Kevin. ----- Original Message -----=20 From: tune4u@earthlink.net=20 To: Pianotech=20 Sent: Monday, April 14, 2003 7:49 PM Subject: On Stage & Off Topic I got something today that I'll bet very few tuners EVER got. Location: Fort Leonard Wood Army Base. Auditorium of huge reception = and processing building for new recruits. Room is crowded with troops = waiting for ... something. Set-up: Enter the piano tech (me) walking onto the stage with folded = tilter. Open curtain to reveal Hamilton piano with missing front caster and = cracked up bass bridge. Begin assembling tilter. Notice that all conversation = has stopped and everyone is looking at me. Action: Never able to resist an audience, I address the troops: "This = piece of equipment," I announce, "is the T-17 Vertical-to-Horizontal = Heavy-Object Tactical Load Shifter." A young lady raises her hand: "What does it = do, Sir?" she asks. "Allow me to demonstrate." says I. Using grand mutes = to block the rear casters, I quickly roll the tilter into position, grab = the top of the piano, and deftly lay it down. The crowd roars: A standing O. Huzzah, huzzah.
