On a happier note, I just received notice a few minutes ago that the new bass I've been waiting a year for is now in Salt Lake City acclimating to the climate after coming in from Germany.
I'll have it in 6-8 weeks. Finally, a quality instrument! |

I found out yesterday that I've been edged out playing the bass for The Wizard of Oz out at Tuacahn this upcoming season. I'd be OK with it, but for the circumstances. The guy who got the job is a co-worker of the show's orchestra conductor (a fellow professor at Dixie State). The show's conductor is also my band/jazz band teacher and I played bass in his orchestra for Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat last Summer season, so he knows how good I am. But get this: he plays guitar, not bass. Admittedly, he also plays bass guitar, but I've done that show before and it definitely needs an upright bass, which he doesn't do at all. It's a good think I am in on The King and I, playing clarinet and bass clarinet. But, dammit, I really needed the extra cash working out there 6 nights a week would bring.
Too much politicking goes on in this little corner of Utah, especially in the music scene. |

Well, I just renewed my license for Radio for another year. I intend to make much better use of it this year. Another happy new thing: I finally figured out how to get NetNewsWire to post to Radio. The categories still don't work, though.
I just noticed that my comment links disappeared when I switched themes to this one. I need to look into that. |
