Hi, Wim,

Well...  I did have him as a student worker, years ago, when he was an 
undergrad. (filling Dampp-Chasers). ;-}

Bit of a self-made sore point, I suppose, but it kinda irks when, 
particularly on the big Christmas programs, everyone including lighting 
tech, stage tech, student volunteer people and box office staff get 
mentioned, but not the person who prepped the piano, harpsichord, portativ 
organ _and_ the 3/m, 42 rank pipe organ.  I secretly long to be sick for 
about three days prior to some of these things and watch the panic. ;-}

Every so often I re-read that old Readers Digest article. ("Unseen Artist"?)

The jazz guy, (unfortunately on sabbatical in Brazil this semester, but did 
have his replacement do the same) always mentions all the techs, including 
me.  Guess who gets a little extra service...
