 Re: Drunk at Rehearsal???

Dano,

I don't agree with your assertion that "Anyone that thinks musicians do not show up for rehearsals stoned or drunk, is kidding themselves." In over 50 years of being a working jazz musician, I have had only two occassions where fellow players have shown up drunk/stoned. One was Mahlon, a very good trombone player and the other was Cal, a keyboard player and wonderful singer. On the jobs in question, it was the last time I ever played with them; I turned down any more calls for more gigs and told them why.

Please don't think I have led a sheltered life as I have played in all sorts of clubs in many parts of the US. Among the players I worked with, an occasional drink on the stand was the limit. Sorry, but I have not had the challenge of working with someone that needed to be high to play better.

Actually, I don't even drink a glass of wine with dinner before a rehearsal. I don't want my colleagues to smell it on me and I also don't want to be anything but at my most alert state.
