Being a sucker with a good heart does pay off sometimes. I should know <G> I have another idea for you. Lets make HIM better too. I have been working with a nutritional supplement that causes your body to spit out trillions of stem cells per week. I know they work. But no one knows just how well and how extensively they work. I know they make cancer go away. I have seen that several times. There are studies ongoing that your pianist can get into that will bring him back from the Parkinson's shakes. I am including the link for this study. It gives the person in the study over $5,000 worth of glyconutrients and it costs the donor or the patient around $1,800. with extensive monitoring and testing for six months. If Bill Gates needed a standard medical technology stem cell transplant for Parkinson's for himself or a family member, he could not afford it with all his money. But you and I can with our body making its own natural stem cells. Glyconutrients WILL improve his health only his own body can decide how much. The FDA will not allow me to tell you the complete truth on much of this stuff, because of their regulations. I must tell you Glyconutrients do not cure any disease, but science has determined that good nutrition has a lot to do with achieving good health. The body can repair itself from just about anything including old age. If you want to know more, let me know. I can answer your questions or find the answers for you.

I have a client, Don Beamsley, who has been a well-known and successful jazz player in SoCal forever; he’s played with every big band around, from Tommy Dorsey, Horace Heidt, Glenn Miller, Tex Beneke----the list is endless; he was even the LA Dodger organist for a while in the 60’s and 70’s. So—he’s got a sweet Steinway B that he was given by his mentor, a 1930 instrument. It was maintained throughout its life by mostly 2 legendary techs---first Cecil Short, the “man” in the Pomona Valley for many years,a nd then by Norman Neblett, an LA denizen and Golden Hammer recipient. I’ve been maintaining the piano for the last 18 years. Anyway, you know the story---I’ve been nagging this guy for years to do the work: the piano’s got all original parts and strings, and he’s always used the traditional procrastinating musician’s excuses: “ I just can’t pull the trigger now, DA---I can’t be sure if I’ll work this strong next year, my wife’s gig stopped this year, I need a new roof---”whatever. I’m a life-long musician; I’ve used them all. He is so sweet, and so funny, and such a monstrously beautiful player, and I’m such a soft touch in a certain way, that I made it no problem, and just kept bringing the damn Protek ( the verdigris was out of control on this pig). To make a long, long story very short, Don now has Class 3 Parkinson’s Disease, has for 2 years, has lost 90 pounds, and his prognosis is delicate, to put it mildly. But he still rolls himself up to the piano and plays for an hour or so every day. So a month ago I took his wife in the other room and just said now’s the time, sweetie, for the bullshit to cease and for us to do something. So---because her cash flow at this point is questionable, we opted for the battlefield triage: --Rebuilt keyframe: key bushing, underfelt, backchecks and wires, clean and polish rail pins and captstans and glides, raise height and level keys --repinned shanks, “smoked-out” whippen flanges --new knuckles --rebuilt pedals and pedal mod --hammers filed (very difficult and dicey) --lift, level, seat strings --COMPLETE action regulation --RP and tune THANKS SO MUCH, MICHAEL CAMPI. You did a great job on the keyframe, pedals, knuckles and shanks. When I FINALLY got the damn thing playing “right---” and that took almost 2 full days--- Don rolled up and started playing; we were both crying. He loved it; he called me “a friggin’ genius.” This is what I work for; this is what I live for; I did the work at about 65% of what I would ordinarily charge; The money is NOT the payoff. To bring love and happiness to music lovers, music players, human beings with sweet hearts and beautiful intentions: this is what this work is all about. I’m feeling good. My love and respect to all..... David Andersen ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
