Hiya, kids, hiya -
So I'm scrambling to get outa here on Monday morning, get a show book to the guy taking over music on my show (which has been extended for 2 weeks), when last night, during intermission, I walked into much mayhem, sturm, und drang in the dressing room... seems the actor/pianist for whom I had built a new book for - and was scheduled to meet today to go over stuff - is persona non grata, having broken up with his girlfriend (our leading lady) and made a play for her understudy... oy. Most of the gals are good friends, having worked together before, off and on for years... They are all flocking to support the LL, and trooped into the office after the show to tell the Boss that they will NOT work with that so-and-so. So...
Today I have to figure out how to record music for the two live songs some time between now and 9 ayem Monday morn, and find some CD's of Purcell/Dowland/John (you should forgive the last name) Blow and other period music, to take to the show tonight for Someone to record onto a show CD... AND cobble together a cues list... All the while, collecting and sorting through my stuff and packing my car and writing two articles with looming deadlines...
Ah, la vita artistica!! I'm beginning to feel like Elmore!
