Some things are the same the world over, Prep one concert grand for a concert and late Sat. afternoon a frantic phone call that the artist thinks the other suits his needs and programme better. Never failed, untill I installed keyboard clamps, now they just wonder what they are missing. However getting paid a standby fee for a concert that you were going to hear anyway, is OK in my book.
