Oy, what a day I have today.
No. Make that: Oy, what a week I have this week.
As I have done a couple of times in the past at this time of year, I'm helping out a dear friend who is music director of a large high school, by stepping in as accompanist and pit pianist for concerts here and there, and there's one during the day today.
Then this evening, auditions for ADRIFT in McCOW. I've always been a fairly decent sightreader, but I am no DR JoseSPiano, no sirree, so I find the playing of auditions akin to being an air traffic controller: long stretches of boredom punctuated by moments of sheer terror.
