She wanted to take a year off to get her mind and body together before she started auditioning. Apparently she is still working of on the mind and body thing as she has never auditioned for anything. She works as a maitre'd... and is quite successful at it. But she still considers herself an actress. Why are so many of us "used to be" musicians? I would guess that most of us have an artistic side which indicate an uncertain amount of sensitivity. Sensitivity usually lives in many of the senses. I bet a lot of us are good cooks too.

Remember the thread on kinds of scotch? Many of us have traveled extensively, worked with clothing/props worth more than our annual salary, met "stars" and even liked a few. We're at home in a wide variety of cultures. Food, music, drama are all expressions of culture. And most of all... there's something about that thrilling moment of MAGIC that happens when the audience simultaneously inhales or bursts into applause that sends shivvers up our spines. I've had that happen as a singer, as a theatrical director, and as a stagehand. Never needed illegal drugs... I always got my thrills from the stage.

I liked the music, the people, the activities, but I never saw playing the baritone as a career. Theatre is far more eclectic and appeals to my desire to do lots of different things. Besides, I just was not that good of a musician - I hated to sit in a chair and practice - boring. BTW, it was a fellow band member who got me involved in doing backstage work in high school. -Delbert -----Original Message----- Why are so many of us "used to be" musicians?

I was recently asked why we do all that work to put on fireworks shows since the pay isn't very good. The sound of thousands of people cheering after a show is worth a lot of money. I guess you can't explain it to someone who hasn't done any sort of live show. ---------- Jerry Durand Durand Interstellar, Inc. 219 Oak Wood Way Los Gatos, California 95032-2523 USA tel: +1 408 356-3886 fax: +1 408 356-4659 web: www.interstellar.com ------------------------------ From: Bsapsis [at] aol.com Message-ID: <1d2.259331a1.2e21761b [at] aol.com> Date: Sat, 10 Jul 2004 12:40:59 EDT Subject: Re: Bailiwick In a message dated 7/10/04 12:27:14 PM, andrewv [at] otcmail.org writes: << 2.

I wanted to let you all know that I have placed a simple resource online that could help some of you solve some problems. Have you had these (or similar program copy problems)..... * Listing of the hairdresser above the TD? * Leaving out of the now important "warnings" (smoke, strobe, gunshots . . .) * Forgetting the playwright's listing or the licensing agent (potential lawsuit) * Forgetting to note that there is an intermission * Inability to distinguish between "crew" and designers * Use of "old" titles instead of current ones etc. etc. etc. I have been burned by this so often that I FINALLY decided to do a little about it. I don't know why I hadn't thought of this earlier, or why someone else hadn't but I created a checklist of program copy and order. While indeed one could debate the order part I think that the checklist serves a great need. So I have put it online to share with all. It is not elaborate, but is somewhat thorough. (I'd be happy to entertain additions).
