Back from the dead...

It has been quite a long time, hasn't it?

Just finished directing a production with young artists and came away with a few thoughts for the young ones...

You must always come into a production having coached and prepared your music. It is clearly evident when it has not been done. And this means whether the gig is a paid gig or not. You never know where a gig will take you. One of my longest standing musical acquaintences came out of a 'freebie' because of my preparation and attitude toward the project, the music and the people involved.

I know that the cost of preparing a role can be expensive when you add up lessons and coachings but it is just one of the sunken costs. Perhaps not covered but truly recaptureable over the long run of a career.
