Maybe because he figured you would cut him off right at the = get-go (experience?) - even though he is "Damn Good". Now why he would = give a recorded phone audition from NC to someone in Las Vegas, you got = me. Maybe he wants to work on the Las Vegas strip? Maybe he just simply = had too much to drink. Hey, its better than getting the "snapping = rottweiler stuck in the piano" call!

I was totaly = asleep, 1:45 AM local time, (Las Vegas). I am awakened by the phone = ringing and I wander down the hall to the answering machine to see who = could possibly be calling at that hour. After the record tone there is = piano music. Good piano music mind you, but not good at 1:45 AM. I'm = muling in my head what local technician could be playing this cruel = joke, (We just had a PTG meeting). When the music stops it is not at = all what I would have guessed. Some guy I have never heard of comes on and talks about what a great = piano player he is and that he is looking for a job. He says he lives = in North Carolina, (It would be 4:45 AM there), and is literally = auditioning over the phone. I had no desire to talk to the guy so I = didn't pick up the phone. He continues on to say that he is "Damn Good" = and that if anyone is looking for a piano player to please give him a = call. "Even if the answer is no please call me". At that point I = almost picked it up to tell him where to stick his piano but I was = really too tired to get into it. A few thoughts: What idiot would call = at 1:45 AM, audition over the phone thinking I would care, and then = actualy think that I would now be willing to help him get a job 3,500 = miles away? His name is Bill Ansel of Cary, NC. Anyone ever hear of this guy? = Anyone else get a call like this? Rob Goodale, RPT Las Vegas NV --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
