Editor's Note: Ron Kobayashi is a long-time friend and a Jazz pianist. (See Bosco Music Links). He emailed this letter to BOSCO today.
There is a strong possibility that the Nordstrom Department store chain will be discontinuing all live piano music in their stores nationwide beginning in 2008. As Nordstrom pianists, we would like to encourage all Nordstrom customers to contact the corporate headquarters in Seattle, WA to let them know how valuable you feel the live piano music is to your shopping experience.
Many of the Nordstrom pianists make their sole living as piano performers, and needless to say, this change would severely impact their livelihood. Furthermore, live piano music sets Nordstrom apart from every other department store, creating a mood and ambiance that is an integral part of customer satisfaction at Nordstrom.
The official notice to discontinue the piano program has not been made yet, but we’d like to preemptively head-off any such change. So we are asking you to please contact the Nordstrom Corporate offices below:
Nordstrom1617 6th Ave. Ste. 500Seattle, WA 98101(206)628-2111www.nordstrom.com (write a message on the customer feedback link)
Many thanks to all of you…
Ron Kobayashi (Pianist at Nordstrom since 1988)
