about

Since I began tuning pianos about seven years ago, I have yet to sit down and tune my own again. I remember a saying that was something like the title of the song, relating to my lack-of-tuning-my-own-piano situation. Given the assignment and circumstances of the week, this seemed like the right direction to go. I started the day off with some old Leonard Cohen which may have influenced the style of tonight's creative adventure.

lyrics

C. F.

The seamstress’s clothes always need

C

mending

C. G

The bartender’s glass is never full

C. F

The piano tuners’s tuners always stay on the

C

road

Am. G. F

sounds at home wane as stories get told

C. F. C

The calendar flips like a young man in trouble

C. G

Faster than air escapes beneath the rubble

C. F. C

And birds fly south but stay closer each year

Am. G. F

As denial goes viral in twisted cheer

F. Am. G

we are the wanderers lost in our daze

F. Am. G

The list grows longer in passing days

F. F—-G——-Am. G

Too caught up in catch up to plead any case

F. C FC AmFG

Till the end comes to put us into our place

C. F

So let toes poke holes in our socks

Am. G. F

And let me meet my Maker’s on the rocks

F. Am

forever may the strings light us up and bring

G

us down

F. G. Am (x4)

perpetual pursuit of sound
