Either a POS/PSO spinet set up on a stage in an empty airplane hanger 
at  Gitmo (big enough for a C5A transport) or (also a spinet) on an outdoor 
stage at the John Denver Deaf Camp, with his recordings playing loudly over 
the speakers.  I had earplugs in AND draped a moving blanket over myself 
and the piano. (pre-ETD days...)
