Hey Annie,

No. I will audition on the 11th of this month for the Marine gig. I
stepped out of the Army and Air Force auditions (even though I know
personally the guy who is in charge of the AF Band). What I was saying was
that I knew, without a doubt, that I wanted the gig when the openings came
about, but things just seem to be getting in my way at most turns. My
mentioning being an agnostic was to say that I profess no sure belief in the
existence of God and so do not necessarily think that these events directing
my larger path through life (which have generally been for the better) are
divinely influenced. I was wondering if others had similar experiences and
whether they think they are signs of luck (good or bad) or something else
(psychological, etc).

Now, after playing the last couple of days and playing gig today with a
bassoonist, I do not feel very confident about the audition. :-( This lack
of confidence is blatant (to me, at least) and very seriously affects my
ability to focus and play. This is different than the other events I was
describing where no ascertainable reason could be linked to the events that
seemed to be blocking my progress toward the auditions.

Robert
