Burt Reynolds once bought three Hammond organs ($20,000+ each) from my sister. One for his dad and two for girlfriends. I don't think any of recipients played.[/quote]
Probably his accountant said, "Hey, Burt, you need to blow a quick 60k to avoid paying an extra 100k to the IRS."

I have been irked several times over the years by wannabe people coming up exclaiming their similarities to me and various keyboards. I have been tempted to straighten them out real quick, but usually favored Gary's gentler approach. I started taking it as a compliment, as they were trying to establish common ground, not belittling me. Out of satisfaction, however, I guess I did mention the value of the Audya, or whatever.

It's never happened to me, and if it did it certainly wouldn't bother me since their grandkids are probably 30 years old. smile
