Immediately following Open Stage Recital (advertised by Axtremus) in Westford MA, Larry Buck, a recent member and an outstanding piano tech, has volunteered to host a PW gathering in Lowell. Larry welcomes us to gather in the music room of his shop where a Petrof model II will be available to those interested in providing entertainment.


Please post a response if you plan to attend.

I will be there with a friend or two in tow!

I am looking forward to meeting everyone at both Ax's recital and the reception.


Larry

Oh wow, this is nice of Larry. I wish i could join in too... if only there were such gathering of PWer here in Singapore. Id love to meet other piano enthusiasts! i bet it would be a very inspiring experience.
And oh, pardon my ignorance, but what does a piano tech do? and also, where is Lowell? Im thinking the US...oop sorry if im waaaay wrong.

skeletony... Lowell is in Massachusetts. Do you have any relatives living in New England?

Terry- no i dont. All my relatives are here in Singapore which is faaaar faaaar away from New England. Do they have the best clam chowder in NE?

It depends on who the chef is! I prefer it rich and creamy with LOTS of clams!!

YUM. Sorry for hogging the thread and being OOT. But i have to agree with you. I am the chef for my clam chowder. I buy mine canned and another can of clam (so that you really get the LOTS OF CLAMS) add the broth to the soup, add extra milk, butter cook it up abit more and top it with parsley flakes. Stir in the clams last.
Serve with toasted baguette.

No one has explained what a piano tech does to me yet.... *off to google*

Mr. Buck,

Thanks for volunteering to host.

Terry,

Thanks for organizing the gathering.

Sounds like a great time.

Larry, is the Petrof your piano?

Whaaaaaaaaaah.

I wanna go.

Whaaaaaaaah.

Have fun.

Sorry I will miss this -- I will be in Delaware that weekend, but I hope to join PWers at another event -- thanks for asking me, Terry --

ditto!

justme & kenny.... I wish a few more of the NE members would be as anxious to join us!!

Maybe the month of April is too far beyond the imagination of most NE'ers.


Keith... When Larry told me about the Petrof II he did refer to it as "his".


I wonder if Larry has any pic's of the Petrof II (??)

I'm still going to try and make this. I didn't realize that this thread was related to the other one.
This is a really great idea, really lookin forward to meeting some of ya. and april30 is still kinda far away so i could probably get off my lazy butt and prepare something for then haha.

i probably cannot make it. besides, i would feel depressed to see anyone there playing so much better than me. wish everyone who could go to have a great time though!

Terry, count us in (JF and probable tag-along). Have you contacted Chris W2 and/or Jeanne W?

KATHYK!!!!!

Does this mean you're back?

eh?
Our lovely Terrytunes (theresa ) has very patiently explained to me quite in detail via pm.

Piano tech is a short way of saying piano technician - the people that tune, service, and repair pianos. Hopefully, the piano tech does all this to your piano and not to you. Ah, the vagaries of syntax in the English language.

HAHA! i actually just realised that when you quoted me... argh cut me some slack, grammar police!

Ha! Singapore! My dad used to teach at Nanyang.

You're from Singapore?
wow, your father used to teach music at nanyang? Does he teach you music too? (or fashion?)
Id be auditioning at nanyang in march...could you tell me more about nanyang (well, anything that you cant find on the website!)? Im considering Lasalle too. TIA! (thanks in advance)

Oops, now im OTT again, sorry folks!

No my dad taught Engineering. He can help with digital signal processing but I suppose he won't be able to help anything music-related =) American schools are also an option. My cousin who was raised in Singapore got accepted to a university in America on scholarship. That's pretty common, I used to know a bunch of Singapore natives when I lived in dorms.

Hi Everyone,

I am looking forward to meeting all of you on the 30th.

Have a great weekend.

Larry, I look forward to meeting you as well. Can't wait to see your space! Sounds great! I love Lowell!

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help, I live only minutes away..

Thanks Bee,

I like your tag line....

Larry

Kathy... Jeanne and Chris W1 have been notified! I am anxiously awaiting to hear a positive response from both of them.

[Jeanne..psst, psst....step away from the piano and respond, please!!]

Bee... do you have any others to add to my list? I have made inquiries to the entire list with the exception of one...

Hello, Frank!!! Is April 30th gathering in MA marked on your calendar???
