Right now I'm working on a musical theatre production with a music director who doesn't know the difference between a sharp and a flat, but who was hired because she has a lot of energy and flaps her hands around a great deal. I'm the pianist (with a B.Mus.) who has to just sit there and play my little keyboard and let the "big people" do the "real" work. Unfair, totally, but that's the way society is. The yobs are on top with a vengeance, so this show (with music I love) is turning into a Lenten penance.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
