...and - when I'm buffing a tuba, restoring a smashed bottom bow and its cap to their original dimensions, reconstructing an instrument with each brace flange going right back to its factory-assembled position, or silencing the action of rotors/linkage, or lacquering a tuba, don't call me a "tech".

bloke "An instrument 'tech' (technician) - at least, in my view - is someone who might be hired - by someone like me - to replace corks, felts, springs, missing finger buttons, and the like - or to clean and reassemble instruments, once I've completed a repair."

Hey! at 10 years old, I had a crush on Peggy Lipton. But that begs the larger question - are you a mod or a rocker? Ringo was a Mocker.

She was married to Quincy Jones for a while, and was one of those rare people who stayed nice-looking into old age.

Sadly, she died a couple of years ago.

In the first season of "Bewitched", she was Larry Tate's secretary.
