L5Larry Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 This is pretty exciting. I've been hired as accompanist for a Sinatra style singer's audition in the new "Music City", Branson, Missouri. A theater down there is wanting to put together a Sinatra tribute show honoring the 100th anniversary of Frank's birth. It's the singer that is on the hot seat, not me, so it's really a no-pressure gig for me. Although,... IF... the singer gets hired, I MAY... be offered the job as Musical Director and band leader for the show (or at least that is the carrot that is being dangled in my face). At worst, it's an all expenses paid weekend getaway in Branson for the wife and me. Look for an update next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L5Larry Posted March 20, 2015 Author Share Posted March 20, 2015 Thanks everyone for all the kind words and well-wishes. After 40 years of doing this, I like to say I never get nervous,... but sometimes I get a little "anxious" (there IS a difference, isn't there?). Well, the anxiety is starting to set in on this one. I guess I should actually practice the tunes we're doing. Thanks again everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stein Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 If I remember the vids I have seen of you, you got plenty of "cool" that trumps any appearance of nerves. AND I am guessing the gig calls for a high degree of cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surfpup Posted March 20, 2015 Share Posted March 20, 2015 Congratulations on the gig! Sounds like you are in either way, but I hope you and the singer knock em dead so you can pick up musical director as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
