even more gigs…
It continues to amaze me how things work out just the way they should. I have been a little stressed about my lack of work lately, and having to remind myself that I really want to try to make a go at music. We got offered a set with a new friend near Ithaca, NY at an interesting sounding coffeehouse, The Blue Frog Coffeehouse. That’s pretty exciting. We’re both looking forward to trying out a new area. Then, yesterday I got a call from someone looking for a musical director for a school musical, Once Upon A Mattress. I’ll be doing auditions this Wed. and Thurs., then doing weekly rehearsals starting in the middle of Jan. through the middle of May. I almost turned it down. Once again, like when I did the classical mandolin performance in Kingston, I’m feeling like I may be in over my head. After speaking with the co-director though, I think I can do this. Mostly they want someone who can work with the singers and accompany them during rehearsals and the performances. If I have the music ahead of time to practice, I should have no problem. It’s just my lack of self-confidence that always gets in the way. Anyway, I said, “Yes.” Yikes! Here I go again.
Another very cool thing happened this week. Someone randomly found this blog, left a nice comment, sent me an e-mail and wrote a wonderful post about us on his blog. Thanks so much, Mark. Please go and check him out.
