Just thought I would share something strange with the group that
happened to me on Tuesday. I was up in Missouri and went to Carthage
to tune a piano for a friend. It was an old 1902 Ellington upright,
good condition, and I was working away when I happened to notice a
penciled note left by another tuner years ago. This is nothing
strange, as many tuners signed their work with the date and pitch the
piano was tuned to. This one caught my attention, though, because the
tuner (from Joplin, MO) had serviced the piano on "12-26-06." That is,
EXACTLY one hundred years to the day that I was tuning the same piano!
Weird, huh?
