[CAUT] Scheduling Arrggs!

[reggaepass at aol.com]

How 'bout making sure, politely but firmly, that all concerned are aware that such short notice rocks your world, but because of your close association with the artists, you will rearrange your life to accommodate them, THIS time... Hopefully they will get the picture that you deserve profuse thanks and appreciation, a cookie AND your R.I.H. (reward in heaven).  Although this may seem like blowing your horn, if you don't speak up, why in the world should they give you more advance notice in the future?

The hard part of this is that I'm "neighbors"
with the Chiara String Quartet in our building and the pianist is the co-chair
of the piano dept! :>(  whaddyado?

I have apologized that I can't be available on short notice
every time and missed a request because it conflicted with an established
schedule.  Mind-you, I'm not dependent on any of my large/small clients.

Hi All, 



How many times does it happen that I find out the day before a "live"
performance on PBS (local) radio for a concert at 9am tomorrow morning.
 Today's full!!  I know now I'll have to come in at 6am. (I know..boo
hoo for me..I picked the job :>)  I remember many times in the
private world where wealthy folks throwing a huge Christmas party with
hired pianist....and forget to get the piano tuned until a day or two beforehand...but
this is rediculous!  The Lied Center is a professional concert venue
and they should know that I'm not there at the drop of a hat.  What
do they think I do...just sit around and write e-mails to my collegues?!?!?!




This is a really nice Steinway B...but I haven't tuned it for two months!
 Maybe 5:30am would be a better idea?  What have you folks done
in these situations? 



Thanks for advice... 



Paul
