What a cushy deal! On opening night of "Madama Butterfly" a couple of
weekends ago, I suddenly came down with the flu -- do you think I had a
back-up or sub? NOOOOO! It's really hard to support when you're trying
not to puke all over the pit. Sorry, but I felt the need to share that
little tidbit. Ah, the life of a semi-pro in bumble@-----.
