Two of my flatmates at uni (both drama students) have asked me to play lead guitar for a band for their musical this May- they caught me off guard, i was tired....hadn't even showered yet.....i might have said yes
Apparently this is the kind of thing i'll be expected to play (thats a clip from the show they will be performing), not terrible music and nothing challenging technically but for years i've really really disliked musicals haha......so will this be my biggest challenge yet? ...i'm thinking yes However it goes i hope i can have a bit of fun with it, it should be a "different" experience- and maybe learn to like songs from musicals |

Find a sax player and play it unisono, it will sound good

I'd say:- 'Do it!
Do it the best that you can! Become as one with Dr Suess or Sam I am!! Just do it, There's no need to think, Nothing to ask, Not even from a Gink, Just do it, You know where it's at, And what could be cooler than playing... The Cat in a Hat?????'
