Don't you hate it, when that happens?  :)

That sounds pretty cool. It's also a lot classier to hang that in your
repair shop, than your typical auto-mechanic's pinup calendar.  :)

I've done lots of keyboard repairs in the past, and I never met a famous
person, let alone received any little gifts from them. Maybe my remote
location, here in West Virginia, has something to do what that?  <scratches
head>

The closest I ever got to fame, was having a music store sales manager bump
into Dick Smith (of Sequential Circuits) in an airport somewhere several
years ago, and Dick supposedly said nice things about the keyboard tech at
our music store, (which would have been me.)  I just can't hang that on a
wall, though.  :)


take care,
