A musical question - "What do you look at?"

Has anyone listened to the media file embedded above?

When they give you a part, you have to read it. It's part of the job. I'm beginning to understand what Mr. Paul Anka meant.

It's not like the test is rocket science, you know.

Just focus on the back wall behind the crowd, and look at the fretboard/strings when necessary.

I prefer to listen to my music rather than look at it.
But that's just me.

That's irrelevant. Where's your shirt? The band gets SHIRTS.

This is all about being a WORKING musician. The first thing you need to understand is that your preferences have nothing to do with it.

Mr. Paul Anka: "You're all fired. Carmine, hire me a new band. By Monday."

Can't wait until @ricardobee reads this.

Can you smile? A bit? You're in the entertainment business, you know. What, did your dog die or something?

Nice shirt. SMILE. And don't screw up the cutoff.

Haha that's gold mate! Not as good as the Buddy Rich legendary telling off of his band though.

I've met guys who were on that bus. The stories, my God, the stories.
