Tonight, I had a dream come true... and a new job. I've always wanted to play piano in a restaurant. We have a small local chain of restaurants in the Bay Area that had a chain of "Opera" Cafe's where the waiters/waitresses sang. Over the years, the singing became less and less and recently, the pianists sang as well as played. Well, to make a long story short, I "Auditioned" this eve, played and sang and accompanied some people, and got a position there playing on Saturday nights starting in November. I'm really excited to finally get to be able to do something like this.
How did I get in? Well, I guess I can mention that the DP is leaving the Four Seasons Hotel to take a job as Bakery Manager for Max's Restaurants here in the Bay Area. Same people that have the aforementioned "Opera" cafes. He will over see the bakery for the restaurants as well as their wholesale and catering departments. It's a great move for him financially and for his career. It's a great position for lots of room for growth and incentives.
And these are the days of our lives.
