Slaves
Just letting the world know: at UCLA, all slave labor that is violin related is dished out to two people: me and this girl named Annie. That is because we have a history of helping people... and we're kind of TOO nice.
Hi Tim,
I'm in urgent need of a violinist. Due to a communication, mix-up Hyunsil Roh is now unavailable to play the 1st violin part of a string quartet I had programmed on the Graduate composer's recital May 9.
...etc.
It would mean the world if you could play for me. The piece is not terribly demanding and you will have some nice moments where you get to shine on passages that I made sure were idiomatic to the instrument.
(tim's note: that's so bull.)
Me turn:
Kenny,
Thanks for emailing me. I suggest you bring the music to orchestra and ask Damaris, Minah or Sally on Tuesday, I don't think they're playing for anyone else. That same week I'm playing for two other recitals, and adding another project would really be bad. I'm truly sorry; it's just that this past year I have been approached by so many people to play for performances that it's been detrimental to my own musical development, so I have to limit the amount of work I do for others.
His turn:
Sorry Tim,
I was just informed that you were going to play for me all along. Totally my fault. In any case, thank you very much for agreeing to play! Can you send me your availability so we can schedule the rehearsals?
Here's mine:
M after 3
T 11-1, after 3
W after 3
R 11-1, after 4
F after 2
I have an mp3 of the piece (pretty crappy midi rendering) in case you wanted to hear any of it, just lemme know if you want it. Thanks again!
ME:
Kenny,
I'm not sure what the misunderstanding is, but I never heard about your piece until you emailed me! Annie told me today she is playing violin in your group? Did you try asking the students I mentioned: Sally, Minah, or Damarus (or any of the other violin students really)? Just for future reference, it's good to spread out the work throughout the entire violin studio,
(What I meant was:
DArnM U!! DArM U!! You Knuclehead, you slimeball, you piece of charred rat shoot, you deflated rubber play ball, you dull knife, you DULL-minded numb fingered bafoon! You Baboon! you SLIME RAT you Piece of candybar wrapper! you YOU! You snot brained dixie cup.
