That cat sort of reminds me of the "Fonze" from that television show with the leather jacket and glasses. Very cute. Now if it only had a motor cycle!

Well from the picture, clearly, he's thinking "The top octave sure is hard to tune with that motorcycle running the background..."

Although Scooters, my dad has a few stories of showing up to people's homes to find they would rather walk around in the nude while he tuned. Ladies... When asked if it would bother him he said, oh no! It's your house. You can walk around anyway you like. grin

Naaaa, honestly I tune for so many different concerts each year and for so many different performers that it doesn't bother me any longer. Especially at my college. When you're a newbie, it bothers you a LOT but after tuning for 35 years full time like that you get used to it. The only bad ones are those that think they have something to prove or are just plain ornery.

He was his jovial self. Joking a little bit but not like he does on stage performing. He always picked up the lid of a 9' Bose like it was a piece of paper. I joked with him about dropping it. He said, good one, I should use that in my skit. Don't know if he ever did though.

We are having an Indian Summer here now! Finally, some sunshine!!! 2 day's worth with more to come. How's the weather elsewhere?

Well I've always heard he was quite a character...and that his home life was pretty lively. grin That's pretty stout, to pick up a concert grand lid so easily.

A select few Borge skits for your enjoyment:

Well, I just had 2 pianos tuned and it cost me $320! Even if I were to walk around naked, I think my "tuner" would just sees me like this! Pretty soon I won't be able to aford clothes!

But . . . I pay my tuner whatever he wants cause he's worth every penny! or rather, every "dollar"! Oh, and I should add that it's really nice here, and I'm just wearing a "light coat"! grin
