Are you ever going to make a trip up here? Hopefully I'll be able to make it to central Florida over my Christmas break. I'll be in Panama City for a wedding in October. Dave's driving up to attend as well. Hope all is well good sir. Brought to you by the whitest city in Kentucky. Are you ever going to make a trip up here?

LOL Well that's what I heard, I have not had it proven to me yet. Anyway, your house looks really good with the new paint job and all! I really miss Megan, say hello. :) And the CJC is empty without you, and you left your books and Matt G. is thinking of selling them on eBay. LOL!

It's funny you mention Wicked - one we're going to see again in a couple weeks - my jazz teacher is playing that gig. There's a ton of money to be made in the pit and a lot of times those contractors are local jazzers that sure do remember those moments on the phone at the last minute trying to replace you. On a side note, this type of post is my favorite type from you - one that takes little time commitment (short posts or video posts that can be listened to while doing other things) yet contain very deep truths of our profession. Good on ya! It’s such a difficult balance. It’s funny you mention Wicked - one we’re going to see again in a couple weeks - my jazz teacher is playing that gig.

I can totally see how this applies to the jazz world. It's tough, but oftentimes it seems like those acquaintances in the $50 gig scene over time become acquaintances in the more lucrative scenes as well. Being cavalier about subbing out may help folks in the short term but give them a shady reputation over the long term, and when that contractor for the $50 gig ends up hiring the run of "Wicked", who will they turn to--the reliable and loyal player or the guy who always subs out at the last minute?

I know your attention is in high demand; I truly appreciate that you took the tome to read and comment. As a musician, I think I'm already outside the box by reading your work - now I am working to become the remarkable in my market. Thanks for the inspiration! Seth -
