One of the essential paraticipants in any recital program is the page turner, yet they seldom get credit in the program. Well, the time has come, and none too soon. Here's a suggested format (from the IDRS board):
Tonight's page turner, Paige Turner, studied under Ivan Schmertnick at the Boris Nitsky School of Page Turning in Omaha. She has been turning pages here and abroad for many years for some of the world's leading pianists. In 1988, Ms. Turner won the Wilson Page Turning Scholarship, which sent her to Israel to study page turning from left to right. She is winner of the 1984 Rimsky-Korsakov Flight of the Bumblebee Prestissimo Medal, having turned 47 pages in an unprecedented 32 seconds. She was also a 1983 silver medalist at the Klutz Musical Page Pickup Competition: contestants retrieve and rearrange a musical score dropped from a Yamaha. Ms. Turner excelled in "grace, swiftness, and especially poise." For techniques, Ms. Turner performs both the finger-lick and the bent-page-corner methods. She works from a standard left bench position and is the originator of the dipped-elbow snatch, a style used to avoid obscuring the pianist's view of the music. She is page-turner in residence in Fairfield Iowa, where she occupies the coveted Alfred Hitchcock Chair at the Fairfield Page Turning Institute. Ms. Turner is married and has a nice house on a lake.

.....and recently signed a lucrative endorsement contract with Staples for use of those little "sign here" page stickies.
Bravo.
Long overdue.
And thank you Ken for bringing this to our attention.
GBK....You need to save a sketchpad. Centuries from now you will be reguarded as the Leonardo of our times.

New 3M stickie page tabs are in development at corporate Headquarters off of exit 246 near McKnight Rd.
The prototype is tentatively being named:
246 Rue McKnight
They will of course cost more than the popular 2mil thick V-2s

This BB has just sunk to a new low.
A great teacher gives you answers to questions
you don't even know you should ask.

''Ms. Turner is married and has a nice house on a lake.''
You mean next to a lake, or is it a houseboat?

Concerning GBK's "Low Tech" page-turning scheme---if you added one of those harmonica support thingies that blues musicians use, you could free up up both hands to play cowbells and taxi horns, etc.......
