There were tuning forks being deployed at times, yes.

It was a major job. It was not just a regular tuning. He hammered in the pegs (or something like that) so that it should hold its tuning for longer. It did not seem like it would be a fun job to do - but then again if you break it down to what he was paid per hour, it is pretty darn good.

Maybe I should learn to tune pianos.
 
The 3rd and 2nd strings on a guitar have a strange relationship that forces the trained ear to adjust the tuning when playing consecutive songs in different keys, notably A & D. When I played live music I was known as the obsessive-compulsive guy who retuned between each and every song.

Being microtonally in tune got me laid a lot.

Do you ever notice how often when you watch a movie, there is someone in it that was in one of the last 2 movies you have seen? I have been noticing that lately.

Not 100% of the time or anything but it feels like a high percentage considering how many actors there are out there.


Like here's what I'm talking about. The last movie I saw was Reds. It has John Malkovich who was in the movie I saw immediately before that, Burn After Reading. Burn After Reading also fits my premise because 2 movies before that, I saw Secretariat which also has John Malkovich. Secretariat fits because just before that I saw The Queen and both movies have James Cromwell. Now in the middle there I saw For Whom The Bell Tolls. That doesn't fit the pattern. Watching movies from different eras is going to screw things up.

But the next movie I will see - because it is sitting on my coffee table - will be Let Me In. It has Richard Jenkins who was also in Burn After Reading which I saw 2 movies ago.

Get what I'm saying? I notice this all the time. I will watch a movie and there will be someone like, "Hey, I just saw them!"

It's not something I do on purpose. It just happens. Sometimes it is just some obscure supporting shleb.

As I say, it is nothing like 100% of the time. But I wonder if it's 50. I'll have to keep track.
