Back from an ENDLESS day. Rehearsal was brief but good, but I'm afraid the band rehearsal was an ordeal because my musical director is doing fifty other things and didn't have the time he needed to make the bass and drum parts easy - no bar numbers - very bad. We got through it, but it was HARD. And my drummer and bass player just get irked when the musical director isn't prepared. Add to that that his brain was completely fried (he teaches kids all day long at various places) and it was a slow, slow evening. But, more about it all later.
