Many years ago I went back into the retail piano business for a short time. I worked in a store in Trenton, NJ. One afternoon while in the store alone, Svetlana and a woman friend (translator) came in. She was living in Princeton, and just left Peters. She told me they had been living in a comune and it was like Russia. They asked me to please not "broadcast" that she was around. She was trying to distance herself from reporters.
I sold her a Steinway "M", and arraigned for financing.
As I walked her to the door there was a Steinway "K" standing there. She spoke in Russian to her friend. The translation was
"In my fathers home there were eight like this."
I wondered what eight poor souls he murdered for them.
I'M NOT YELLING.........I'M ITALIAN...........THAT'S HOW WE TALK!

Richland Center, Wisconsin? I can't believe she lived so close.
