I'm In!

Well - I left work at 4:45 and arrived at the studio in Manhattan at 6:40 for the audition - and it went real well! I was supposed to memorize two songs and play them for the music directors, but I ended up only making it through two verses of "Solid Rock" before he stopped me and said "okay, you're definitely good enough." HAHA - looks like Nebraska can get it done in the big city!

Anway - but before I get too far ahead of myself, I'm already thinking of not joining the band. I know, I know ... quitting before I start - but the $115 parking ticket I found on my car after having a 3 hr. band practice (ended at 10PM) kinda got me thinking that I don't have the time/energy to get involved like this. Not to mention that I will have to be AT the church (it's a hotel ballroom on 34th street and 7th avenue) by 7AM on Sundays that I play... Very very early for Sundays when it's a 45 minute drive from my apartment - and then I would have to be able to play at any 3 of their locations on any given Sunday (downtown, midtown, or jersey city).

All in all - these guys were great musicians and great people... but I'm feeling like I could burn myself out right quick if I'm not careful.
