So, the plan was that I was going to play piano at the Sunset Blvd auditions on Saturday, which I was fine with. At the production meeting, the director (whom I love) said he wanted me at the table with him, which is a luxury these days. So now I'm trying to find a pianist I can trust to play the auditions, and I need to pay them out of my pocket as I'm tapped out already with my musicians budget. It's not the money I care about because I don't mind paying someone, but do I break my back trying to find someone, or do I just call my top 3 people and if that doesn't pan out, do it myself. The director understands the situation, of course. So I guess I'm off to email contestant #2 - and that's another thing, how long do I give contestant #1 to respond? I emailed last night. I might give him until noon. In this day and age, if you are looking for work, you should be able to check your email at the drop of a hat.
