    The 1970s. Early childhood. I remember occasional home visits from a blind piano tuner.

    We also had a Farfisa electric organ. Then, in my early teens, I occasionally played a Hammond organ (badly) at a pub on Canvey Island. Tremolo involved some colossal thing rotating, I guess that it was a Leslie speaker <en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leslie_s>.

    In my late teens, a Hohner Clavinet. Nice idea, but it was so heavy that when I sulkily quit a band, during rehearsal, I had to pay a passing schoolchild fifty pence to help me carry it to a bus stop.

    Now: my sister and her husband adore their grandchildren, who enjoy playing piano. They also discarded a traditional upright piano, non-electric, years before the grandchildren were born.

    I still have my grandparents' piano, which hasn't been tuned since the 1970s. It needs to go, I doubt that it's saleable, I'll probably have to pay a team of four people to take it for scrap metal.

    Fifty years later: in the absence of traditional pianos to tune, what profession might the same blind person choose? Would it involve AI? I wonder.

    I'm nostalgic about the past, but future technologies have been making traditional stuff redundant for decades.

    With regard to the piano tuning profession: I'm a number one offender, because I never bothered to pay someone.

  6. Quand j'étais gosse, je passais des heures à construire des trucs colorés avec mes #Lego. Aujourd'hui je passe des heures à assembler mes pédales d'effet pour guitare électrique. Sans jamais trouver la satisfaction ultime, c'est-à-dire LE son idéal que j'imagine. Bien sûr, ça dépend aussi de la guitare et de l'ampli.

    J'ai réussi à supprimer une pédale, pour en avoir un peu moins sous le pied.
