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!
