Well...on Wednesday I got to clean out some mouse poo from between key sticks. (Country church piano.) And then got to kill a very alive brown recluse. It was sitting (?) on the underside lid of a Baldwin 243. Glad my finger didn't get that close as I raised the lid. Or maybe it did. Shudders. I sure like to watch those buggers wriggle after they get squashed. Certifies the time of death anyway. Around here, I always check for recluses whenever I open a vertical. Didn't see this one until mid-tuning, though. He was fairly dark and blended in with the lid. Squished him with a nearby Heavenly Highway hymn book and resumed tuning. Never a dull moment.... -- John Formsma, RPT Blue Mountain, MS On Sat, Jul 28, 2012 at 10:40 AM, Ron Nossaman <rnossaman at cox.net> wrote: > > Level four bio hazards aside, adding a "sense of value" to a piano corpse > by extracting money from the pockets of the "too poor to afford better" > owner in the performance of purely janitorial work has never failed to > creep me out.
