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 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*

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 (??)
