Goodbye

?

!?

From what I can see, this is either a bad joke or something more serious.

Lets not be too hasty shall we?

Let's talk.

Hey, I like your insightful posts! C'mon back!!

RPD

UT,

If you're on the WWW, it isn't hard to be a target, deserved or otherwise...but sometimes you've gotta let stuff go or it festers, and won't serve anyone well in the long run.

good buy ??

all is dropping...

Sell !!!

"Goodbye" all alone with no other words or response to those who posted would leave all of your friends on this forum wondering whats up?
Hope all is well.
Goodbye.

Opinions from everyone on this board is what makes it work so well.
Some don't agree, some do. We all have opinions. Sharing is caring.

If we are all partisans of CM3rds who will speak for Braid-White?

Note to self: Don't post during happy hour!

Alas poor UT, we knew thee well...

Fallen is he under heaps of scorn and upright action parts. Wounded by voicing needles, cut by treble wire his lifeless soul lays in a heap upon the shop floor.

That's great

I love it

Gone yes, but perchance to rise again like a jack spring Phoenix from the ashes of a fire damaged Lester Spinet - With a new moniker, new identity and new ideas.

Years ago, I had horses. The first one I got was supposed to be trained and saddle broke, but the horse soon realized that I didn’t know a damn thing about horses. He got mean and nasty. So, I went to the library and checked out as many books as I could find on training horses.

I talked to every horse trainer I could, at the feed store, at the horse and tack auction, anywhere I could find a horse trainer (didn’t have internet back then ). I would ask ten different horse trainers the same question and would usually get ten different answers. Yet, I learned a lot about training horses.

This forum is about the same. Ask the same question and you may well get many different answers and start an argument in the process . However, I learn a lot reading you guy’s (and gal’s) arguments here.

Of course, learning to tune pianos ain’t quite as dangerous as learning to train horses .

Come on back, UprightTooner.

I do hope UT returns. I loved his arguments with Bill Bremmer.

But Rickster, if a harp gives way, you don't want to be around that either.

Good point, Marty. Moving pianos can be hazardous too.

Anyway, I got another story for ya… After paying a Ferrier big bucks to fit steel shoes on my horse’s hooves, I decided I wanted to learn to do this myself. So, I buy a training video on shoeing horses and about $100 worth of tools and supplies; I was all set. Fitting and fastening the steel shoes on the front hooves of my horse worked out really well, so far so good. Now, he was a little particular about his back feet (hooves). When I drove the nail through the shoe and went to cut off the excess and clinch it, he snatches his foot out of my hands and the nail rips a gash in my thumb. On the way to the emergency room I decided there are some things better left to professionals.

I knew yawl would like that one .

Best regards,

Rickster

Under a spreading chestnut tree, the village smithy stands, and is re-stringing a piano.

My sincere apologies to Mr. Longfellow.

One should never try to become a ferrier by video tape. I wonder if the same holds true for piano tuning?

Touché, Marty.

Of course, my pianos are well tuned, regulated and voiced and I have not had to go to the emergency room yet.

Take care,

Rickster
