Bing bing bing bing.....that's it. Your precious reputation can't  
afford the hit it takes when you work for a weasel of a a dealer. The  
piano world is a small, small world, and your reputation is  
everything. Look at you, Randy! You trusted and honored yourself, and  
you forced that weasel to grudgingly honor you by engaging you when  
she HAS to, on YOUR terms, AFTER you've become a respected tech by  
your own efforts. Sweet.

Bravo. Trust the Force, Luke.
