Aren't you supposed to start it?

Then we say "Who's There?"

And then you deliver the punch line?

???

I think *that's* the joke!

Good Evening!

Whew!

Well, the day started off well.  Some of the non-singers actually started to open up their mouths.  Some of them actually sang the right notes.  And some of them actually sounded "acceptable".  Alas, as the day went on... Well...

I'm doing what I can, and teaching what I'm supposed to teach.  And I'll just have to let the chips fall where they may.  If I knew that my encouraging and "pushing" could be properly implemented, I wouldn't feel so arbitrary.  Alas, for some of the people in this group, it's very much a case of trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.  :-\

But tomorrow is a day off! -And I even brought in some English chocolate bars (Aero, Flake, Mars, etc.) for the cast.  -BOY! did they make a lot of noise when I revealed that box.

DR JoseSPiano, I'm sorry it's not very gratifying work.  If you had known then what you know now, would you still have accepted the job?

Probably.  Due to another project getting cancelled earlier this month, I needed something else to replace those bank deposits.

It's actually an easy gig, but, again, just very frustrating.  I just keep telling myself, "I did not cast them.  I did not cast them.  I did not cast them."

We ran the first part of the show at the end of today.  The "stager" knew that there were a lot of non-singers in the cast, but she had no idea just how lacking it would all end sounding in the group numbers.  However, we do have some incredible(!) soloists, so they're keeping me sane and smiling.

I second that possibility.

Showtime on Demand, at least in my neck of the woods, does not allow me to pay for and view just bk's Penn & Teller show from last night; I have to subscribe to the entire network on a monthly basis.  

Fie on that!

Just check the regular "On Demand" listings.  There should be a "Cable Favorites" section, and you may find "Bullsh*t" there.

I got a call from a woman who was looking for an editor for one day, with a day on ohld, to do some crappy corporate job on a cheapo system in a bad part of town. I quoted her my Turner rate, which is a reduced "Frequent flyer" rate. She said she was used to paying about half of what I quoted her. I explained that since I was self-employed, I have to pay self-employment tax, my own insurance, SEP, etc so I really only see half of that rate anyway. She seemed quite put off and announced that she, too was self-employed and she knew how it worked. She asked if I could recommend anyone, but I don't know any editor who works for what she says she "always pays".

Thank god for the Turner networks!
