[CAUT] Warning to you hosting the Van Cliburn gold medalist

[G Cousins]

Yes! But......one might say:"it comes with the territory". That said,
you have my sincerest sympathy and understanding of the unfortunate circumstance.
The unseen artist is in all of us. It is what we are and do for these folks. 
Hang in there! There are way too many who DO appreciate the work. Albeit a silent group.
Keep in mind that this one performer will be replaced by another and maybe someone who does care more about the craft.

Sincerely,
Gerry Cousins, RPT

PS Thanks for the "heads up" on this person.

Subject: [CAUT] Warning to you hosting the Van Cliburn gold medalist

Hi all,



Tonight, the Van Cliburn gold medalist
is playing.  He blew off the afternoon practice and showed up at 4:30
instead of 3:30 to warm up.  He is supposed to go until 6:30 with
a half hour to tune before the doors open at 7pm.



I'm not a happy camper.  He gets
what he gets!! a two hour program with many major pieces each half.  I
will have the great opportunity to tune during the intermission. (a joke).
This piano has just been freshly restrung and is not stable at all.



Why do so many great pianists have no
@#$% clue about their instrument??  for any of you hosting Mr. Khang,
please tell him something resembling a clue on piano prep time.  I
was caught totally off guard on this one.



Can you tell I'm pissed off??



Paul
