Re: [Harp-L] How Musical Theater differs from Blues gigs and jams

[George Miklas <harmonicat@xxxxxxxxx>]

Rob,
Reading your post, I felt your anxiety for passing on the gig.  Then I read
your statement about "keep the day job" .... Musicians must follow their
passion.  When a musician does not follow the passion, the anxiety eats
from the inside out!  I can't wait until I'm "Free at Last!"

Yours,
George
