The 30th novelette, " – on pretending that – ", continues, with some morning foolery, unexpected co-conspirators, and not one, but two disquisitions on value!

I’m at what was once a major rural elementary school in on Vancouver Island (when logging and farming were how people made a living). Can you guess the one?

Please boost if you:
- like pianos!
- like to read well-written non-fiction!
- like to support writers!My friend Scott is “the piano tuner for all the great jazz and classical pianists in Vancouver.” He’s almost finished writing his book about “the secret life of pianos.” I’m helping him promote the book pre-publication because I want him to be focussed on writing not marketing. I really really want to read the final chapters! (The book has been a fun and informative read so far.)
To get an advance copy of the first chapter, free, please see http://dontshootthepianotuner.com

Spotted on Calishat Snaps: PianoReader.app. From the announcement post: “There are a lot of piano ‘tutorial’ videos out there, but most of them aren’t step-by-step walkthroughs. They mostly look like falling raindrops that light up piano keys. These tutorials are often made with a tool called Synthesia.

PIANOS HAVE A “SECRET LIFE?” 🎹 ✍️
My good friend Scott is writing about “the secret life of pianos.” He’s the guy who makes sure visiting (& resident) pianists (jazz & classical) in the greater Vancouver area have tuned & tune-worthy rigs. He’s also a heck of a writer.
I’ve read the recent draft of this book and I’m keen to read more —and to share it. DM me if you’re interested. Or get it via http://dontshootthepianotuner.comps. This pic is by Scott.
