[pianotech] Thou Shalt Not

[Tom Servinsky]

I attended an event last evening and Steve Bogart, Lauren Bacall's son, was the speaker. Lauren turns 86 next month, lives in Manhattan, and apparently is still sharp as a whip.

  Yea to that! 

  I used to tune Lauren Bacall's Mason and it took me 30 minutes to remove and put back all the photos on the piano. The entire lid, edge to edge was filled. Also, there were so many photos and things on all the surrounding tables that I had to use the floor. The good thing about the floor was that I was able to arrange the photos as they were on the piano. But I did enjoy seeing all the signed photos. Actors, politicians and other dignitaries. So many wonderful art pieces in her home also. David, you just brought back some old memories.

    I was called last year to appraise a piano as Jenna, the owner, was putting her estate in order before succumbing to cancer. The family eventually decided to keep the Baldwin grand, but they were all very proud of this sign their mother kept on the piano. It gave me a good laugh.
