Employed!

Well, the title pretty much says it all.  This week I have found gainful employment.

The music business is really about who you know (much like all businesses I suppose, even the government business).  When it became clear that there was little possibility of me staying with Roland without moving to Birmingham or something, I knew that I had to start getting my feet wet in other ponds.  Using some contacts at Roland I secured a trial "shift" at a retail outlet on London's most well known music strip, Denmark St. Monday I successfully completed that shift and have been offered the full-time position.

I'm still selling keyboards, but now I get to sell all makes and models, and also do a bit of brass instrument work as well.  It's funny how things work because I prefer the environment of this shop, even if the pay is a bit less than I'm used to. 

Anyways, so that's a brief update from me.  Tomorrow we're going to see Ron Sexsmith at the Roundhouse, very cool, expect a review on Friday!
