Don’t be THAT GUY!

Here’s a screenshot conversation a friend sent me this morning - the one on the plane is a bandleader, friend they were texting is Executive Director of a group I play with. This could also be titled “How to not get a gig”! The musical world is small, and news travels fast....names have been blacked out to spare the innocent, as well as swears to spare your delicate eyes...

I have to be honest, the "it's a small world" mentality of the music industry really put me off toward the end of my time in Music School. When I was looking at making a career out of it, I saw that all I had to do was offend the wrong person and my career would be over. I chose, instead, to be a software engineer. Given that there are probably 100M+ computer programmers in the world, I would never have to deal with that problem.
