“The life of any musician really doesn't fall into a normal schedule at all. Every week there are different rehearsals, different days and nights of performances, so we don't have a particular pattern that we can follow. For a conductor, it is a little bit worse because we have to allow for traveling.” LittlesDifferentNightFallBitsWeekParticularNormalLittle BitMusicianPerformancesPatternsSchedulesRehearsalDay And NightConductorDifferent Day Author:Leonard Slatkin
“I enjoyed living in New York City, I liked the premise of the show [Saturday Night Live], I liked working with a different host every week and different musicians. I always thought, "This is great.

“When I was 19, I made my first good week's pay as a club musician. It was enough money for me to quit my job at the factory and still pay the rent and buy some food. I freaked.” FirstsMadeStillsEnoughJobsPayWeekMusicianClubsQuittingFactoriesGood Week Author:Billy Joel
“We talked a lot with the musician. And for now there are few options, and I give him few weeks to come and surprise me with something. I don't want to start and say, okay here is what I want.

“Being on the road, because you do so much waiting and so much traveling. It's not the same thing as being in the same city for a week or two weeks and then another city. It's really hard. I don't think people understand this about being a touring musician, or a touring actor, or somebody who flies everywhere for business. It's incredibly disorienting.” PeopleThinkingWaitingWeekMusician Author:How to Dress Well
“The creative process for a musician is very different than for a filmmaker. I have an idea and I can pretty much execute it. As old as I am now and as long as I've been doing it, I can pretty much get it done in a week. While a filmmaker has a great idea that should be out tomorrow, but he has to go through this process of getting financing, then selling it, then casting. I've always been in awe of filmmakers and their patience in realizing their vision because I could never do that.” LongDifferentDoneRealizingVisionCreativeWeekTomorrowMusicianSellingFilmmakerAweCreative ProcessGreat IdeaFinancing Author:Mike Patton

“I'm glad I was born when I was. My time was the golden age of variety. If I were starting out again now, maybe things would happen for me, but it certainly would not be on a variety show with 28 musicians, 12 dancers, two major guest stars, 50 costumes a week by Bob Mackie - the networks just wouldn't spend the money today.” IfsTwoShowsHappensAgeTodayStarsBornWeekMajorsMusicianStartingGladGoldenVarietyMy TimeDancerGuestsBobCostumesGolden AgeStarting OutGuest Stars Author:Carol Burnett
