Piano 🎹 tuning: must be one of the most boring jobs there is. I was already very sleepy, so I was out in a couple minutes! Which means I could listen again. 🎶Thanks Ben!

Pretty dull indeed, too bad I had insomnia and actually heard the whole thing. (Don’t worry, you were boring enough, it’s me!!) We may have been the only ones to know how it ends…..I’ll try again tonight. 😂😂😂
