A442

[invader]

Hello ,I had a band {air men of note } come to the University last week .
They wanted the D @ A442 . 2  tunings up 2 tunings down . Charged them 4
tunings.First asked the stage manager to see the tech list to see if I could
leave them at 440 . No, do it . Now they say it is part of my job. I had to
be there at 4:00 am to have the D back at a440 for the next recital.That is
,I did this work over my normal hrs. I guess I'm complaining to much?
