Phil,
45 minutes.  Goodness.  Wish I could do that. A as far as time goes, takes
me close to two hours  for something that isn't too far off.  I've probably
done about 500 pianos since I began.

Now, if gas prices get any higher, they are about four dollars a gallon, it
won't be worth going to town or anywhere else.
