Pianotech

On December 30, 2016, Ron Nossaman died after a protracted struggle with cancer. On January 1, 2024, he challenged piano technicians to be more analytical in our thinking. It is as pertinent today as it was 12 years ago. We will forever miss his voice

Here is Ron's new year welcome, in his words.

"May the coming year realize something so far so unlikely as to be inconceivable.

May we understand and accept the simplicities of physical reality, without the fabricated complexities and fantasies necessary to force the universe into compliance with our egos and unrealistic and fantastic presumptions and fabrications.

May we attempt to think and evaluate rationally rather than intuit and believe without evidence or rationale, and be willing to adopt the more intelligently rational conclusion until such time as something more intelligent and rational displaces it with even better supporting evidence.

May we wake up, grow up, and achieve some semblance of consciousness and self awareness, and an understanding of how tragically and unnecessarily pitiful we typically are.

May we learn to think.

May we learn to learn,

May we grow as we learn until thinking is the commonplace default.

• Ron Nossaman"

Happy new year,

John Parham
