Mailing out the charts for the show, the first time was like parting with a baby. It was really quite an experience. I had copied the parts and made a second set of books. I felt like I was sending off my treasures to an unknown destination never to be seen again… or worse, to be scrutinized and criticized by heavy unsympathetic musicians who wouldn’t be able to follow all the markings and think the music was… you know… the “s ” word!!!
Well, I was immensely relieved when they let me know that they had received the packages with a CD and the music and had already listened and were looking forward to doing the gig!!!
All I have to say is I LOVE NEW YORK MUSICIANS!!!!!!!
This time, I didn’t think twice about sending out the books and am looking forward to working with my wonderful darling colleagues again!!! Imagine that! I just can’t wait and think it will really be a lot of fun!! And now that “my team” is in place I have no worries!!! (hahahaha)
That will all change next week!!!!
