Well, since being underemployed since last November (laid off) I have been freelancing. I have been creating Access databases and writing arrangements for a church I am a associate member of. The music pastor made it a point of tossing me as much work as he could.

So he and the executive director have offered me a position that they created for me at the church as Co-director of Instrumental Music (that's my best description for now, they're still massaging the job description), on the road to being THE Director of Instrumental music with luck and momentum.

My duties would include a lot of music writing and arranging, creating and upkeep of databases used to keep track of all the artists, Calendars, etc., along with the appropriate amount of administration. I will start July 16th. I'm SMILING.....

Yep. It's true. I wish you well in your new position, and hope this ministry is one you can make a real impact in.

Yes, me too! The basic thing is that communication with the artists has taken a hit, also the music gets kinda tired. So once I set up email groups and link 'em to my databases all I have to do is send the calendar with the press of a button, and then just follow up when there are changes, which is usually A LOT! But as long as the preemptive phone call is made, artists are happy, and when artists are happy, quality is easy to produce!
