Friday - April 25th 2003
So much for a day off!! I did get to sleep for 7
hours but in my mind I had planned for about 10!! I had forgotten
that we had been back and forth through some serious time-zone changes
but I guess my body and brain remembered.
Then I got a call to meet with the DVD Producer who had still not
delivered a contract or payment even though he knew that without
this he wouldn't be filming the show. He showed up with all kinds
of offer and promises but no contract and no money!! He wanted to
film the show and "pay me later" but, as I learned so
painfully in Togliatti, this is Russia and there is no "later"
so I said "thanks but no thanks and thanks again for wasting
my time"!!
No big deal, we had already talked about doing this in a castle
in Spain if the Moscow deal fell through so now we go to that plan.
We have already had preliminary talks with the Symphony director
and we will plan to do the concerts sometime in mid-June.
After several other meetings (one of which was about me being included
in a very cool history book… more later!) I was beginning to
wonder what a day off was really like so I was happy to stagger
back to the room and while Monica was taking a long siesta I changed
some guitar strings… until I fell asleep in the living room
and woke up at 9:30pm!! But I made it to bed and went to sleep dreaming
about our dogs and cats.
Next
day...
