Fans, You know what I hate?

[piannaman at aol.com]

I have a real hard time when the client begins to do the dishes just as I'm getting into the treble.? Lots of high partials that I don't want to hear start to float around.

"Then there is the clock syndrome."

?

I can relate to this. I have one client with an old worn-out grand piano - she is a piano teacher and has a real nice little studio. Unfortunately she has chosen her studio to display her coo-coo clock collection. She must have 15 or 20 coo-coo clocks hung around the room - none of which are set to any particular time - but all of them are in excellent working condition.? I guess it works out though - I can't hear her piano to tune it, and I can't imagine she can hear her piano when she plays it!
