...after years of being a weekend warrior, I get offered a gig playing bass and Stick in The Black Rider, a November Productions play in Toronto. My partner Kiri steps up to the plate, and offers to cover childcare issues, and the bank balance says it'll pay enough...just. So now I can quit "the dayjob" ( never mind that I've only given up gainful full time technical work once before ) and be a full time professional musician with a respected theater company for a substantial engagement ( 2 months ). My heart pounds, and I'm nervous as $!t , but the point is, I HAVE A GIG.

....think warm thoughts for Dale L. , please....it was her gig, and she basically just handed it to me....

So, off we go....
