My accompanist backed out on me. Go figure. Three weeks before my recital. So, what do I do? I scramble and ask all of my friends to see if there is
anyone that can play for me. I finally found a grad student willing. I took the music to her today and she told me that it was going to be $300. ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!! I don't have $30, let alone $300. That's when the tears came. I have been the accompanist to bail so many people who were stranded out, and now I'm in their shoes.
Anyway, I interrupted Reggie's rehearsal, crying, because I didn't know what to do and the office has already been on my case about other recital stuff. Of course he offered to play for me. Damsel in distress kind of thing, ya know??
Anyway, it is just not very nice to leave someone hanging like that. Not one bit. But, it is also silly to worry because it's a waste of energy and things always have a way of working themselves out.
