[pianotech] Norm - O.T.

[James Grebe]

I think many people dismissed him as a woodworker was because he is first a 
carpenter.  The mis pronunciation of assembely is now a part of my speech. 
Just because he was lucky enough to have all the power tools known to man 
should inspire us.  I wonder if someone else will take over the TV shop?  In 
some ways the perception that electronic tuners do not measure up to aural 
plays a part.
