I sold concessions at tonight's performance by Scott Cossu and Windham Hill founder Will Ackerman. First let me say that they are both very talented performers who have a dedicated and loyal following. The audience loved them.
I, however, while recognizing and acknowledging their talent, have to admit that their style of music...bores me. Purly instrumental music has that effect anyway, but individually all of their music sounds the same...to me. Same style, same feel, same effect. Big ol' yawn.
Now, if you ask yourself why would I sign up to usher/work concessions for a show that I probably knew that I wouldn't enjoy, let me say that I didn't
know that I wouldn't enjoy it, but I had an idea that I probably would. The main reason that I do it is because the ushering/concessions work is actually a lot of fun. And when working concessions, I get free Diet Pepi! Not a bad reason, at all.
