Very much, in fact!<BR/><BR/>They also told me about a habit that some people have--that of waiting until someone is done playing Bach or Mozart on the piano and then asking, "Do you know any tunes?" Sure enough, a few years later I played a Bach prelude from memory on a bar piano, and the asst. manager asked, "But do you know any tunes?"<BR/><BR/>His exact words. And I don't think my parents put him up to it--they were a few countries away at the time.<BR/><BR/><BR/>LeeLee Hartsfeldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15378950382643333359noreply@blogger.com
