 Re: Drunk at Rehearsal???

I think most people can agree that the U.S. is far behind most of the rest of the world when it comes to drinking age. I played in an combo in Argentina with plenty of young people in it and before the rehearsals, we drank a couple of glasses of wine without any problems at all. You ask what kind of example do we set for young people when we say "if it does not affect her playing, let her drink"? First of all, life is not "The Brady Bunch" so you better have your ducks in a row. Second, some people are stupid, hurt, depressed, unable to deal with their feelings and you better be ready for them.
"Tell her maybe she should be a jazz musician"???? It is not more acceptable to be stoned if you play jazz music. You are confused with the jazz musician of yesteryear and the venue in which the music takes place. Bars and places where it is ok to "let go". Jazz musicians are some of the hardest working musicians you will ever come across. Even more so with a clarinet. You can't get near the top or stay at the top if you are high on anything. I can hardly believe that this statement is coming from people who play music. I would expect that statement to come from people who pidgeon-hole music altoghether. It's like saying that classical musicians are more likley to be mild mannered and weak. I know enough classical musicians to know this to be wrong. I say just make sure you are doing your part as a musician and let the chips fall when it comes to someone elses drinking. They will fall and if you play it right, you will remain standing. Morality and creativity can accompany themselves only to a certain point. Then one or the other drifts away. It does not matter how moral or creative you may think you are. Cheers!!
