So, you are the one that tunes those saloon pianos to sound tinny?   

I cattle rustled as a kid.
Had to maintain the family garden, the dairy farm next door never liked to fix the fences.
One day, one of the cows got out and trampled the garden.  I held her for ransom

If you hear a piano that's in tune in a western, it's not historically correct! There wasn't a whole lot of piano tuners out west! Interestingly enough though, most of the piano players had tuning hammers and had to at least learn a little out of necessity. Those pianos had to become practically unplayable at some point!

Third generation Wyoming cowhand/rancher.  Have run a trap line, have drove teams on a wagon. Done a lot of the  stuff folks have fantasy of doing. It's not near as romantic as it seems from the outside looking in.

The Army was pretty close, but as a teenager, during the summers I lived as a 19th Century kid. When not working in the hayfield, I wandered around the valley (and hills sometimes) with a .22 or a fishing pole. No licence or supervision required nor expected.

[Blair]

Not long after I started commercial under water salvage diving, (1967\ a TV program came out "The Undersea World of Jacques Cousteau". (Called "Sharks".)
The opening segment of the program showed what looked like a diver in a full wet suit being attacked by a Shark!
Well, this caused my 'pucker factor' to go well above the 10 scale! A lot of sharks off the east coast of Fl.
After watching the whole program it turned out, this was an old wet suit filled with dead fish, not a living human.
From that day on, I fell in love with this program.
My best,
Blair
