Just wanted to pop in and show Jaily some love! Celebrity of the day- ha! He is my celeb of the year after having the pleasure of having dinner with him in NYC. I still quote from that dinner.

"All the while making faces like a baby platypus who forget to take some Beano before eating a chimichanga." FindingNamo in reference to Jessica Simpson's singing.

Jaily, I play English horn/oboe, but my primary instrument was the sax (all four). I also play clarinet and flute (but not so well).

Also, I'll push Rath out of the way to sing Side Show. Of course, I can't quite get up to Alice's parts, I'm more of an Emily Skinner.

If you were a pair of shoes, what shoes would you be and why?
I would be a pair of black patent leather Ferragamos...they're expensive and EVERYONE notices them.

If you could have anyone over for dinner, who would it be and what would you serve them?
Ina Garten, and I would make her MY version of Chicken With 40 Cloves of Garlic.

If we went out with you and your best friend, what story about you would he/she tell us that you would not have?
Probably one of the naughtier tales from our cross-country driving trip that would embarrass me to no end!

My myspace rip-off questions:

What goal would you like to achieve this year?
I'd like to get back down to a 30" waist, and I would like to complete a recording of French music for the oboe.

Your weakness?
Compliments and chocolate.

Your biggest fear?
Rejection, failure, and obesity.

First thought waking up?
WHAT TIME IS IT?!?!?!? Whew.

Do you shower daily?
Sometimes twice.

Have you been in love?
Yes, several times...and I am right now.

Do you get along with your parents?
My mom is my biggest fruit fly!

Coffee or Tea?
Both!!

Cats or Dogs?
Both, but slightly prefer cats. I love all animals, though!

Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you. Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

Kel, you are too precious!! *hug hug hug* When are you coming back to visit us again? I promise I'll eat something this time. Seriously.

Bway, I didn't know you were a doubler...y'learn something new every day! I just ordered a new oboe for the show...I can't wait! It's a Fossati in cocobolo wood with gold keys. Mmmm...super gay!

I just posted a couple clips of me playing ob/EH on my MySpace page, actually...I finally managed to make decent reeds and was so excited I had to record something. :-P

Vodka martini, extremely dry and EXTRAORDINARILY dirty, straight up.

I was never very good at making good reeds so I just resigned myself to buying expiernsive types.
I do enjoy the doubling. I don't know why I haven't tried to get into the musician's union.

message board celebrity of the day - JailyardGuy

Posted: 8/1/06 at 12:36pm

I usually buy mine, too...saves tons of headache.

Why don't you? Although, if you seriously want to get gigs with the Union, you should work on your flute and clarinet if they're not as good as you'd like them to be...those are the bread and butter, and there are TONS of killer players. Double reeds are the ticket, though...that's kind of my gimmick these days. Even among the double reed doublers I'm sort of odd, because I also play bassoon, which very few doublers do. (I'm what they call a quinter, because I play flute, clarinet, sax, oboe, *and* bassoon...nice work if you can get it!) :-P

Blech, Jaily. Unless you have time for some lessons, I'm just not going after the bassoon. However, my skills at sax and oboe/Eh are definitely B+-A level and I could get my clarinet up to that, I know (good enough to play any Broadway scores) and my tone is very good on all instruments (plus, I'm a killer with pitch. My band director used to hold me up as an example all the time). I am not that great at flute, though (damn embouchure) and bassoon requires I get unlazy and read bass clef well.

To land a Broadway gig, everything's gotta be A+, though...it's NUTS how good some of these guys are. It really is a professional environment, and it's not much different than landing a job in a symphony orchestra. You have to practice several hours a day to keep everything tight and up to speed...the second I start rehearsals, I'm ditching my day job. There's just no way I can work *and* practice as much as I'm going to have to to keep up with the gigs...

*le sigh*

It's so cool to read about you following your passion, jaily.

heh. Well, I wasn't going to pick up the instruments and apply right awya. God knows I have to practice again.

What show are you landing? or are you talking hypotheticals here?

I will be switch-hitting ACL and LM, Bway. Oboe/EH chair in both...

I'm stoked about it. Subs do it all the time...you'll do like, two shows a week here, a show a week there...depending on who you're filling for. The guys I'm subbing for both have symphonic gigs, so I'm gonna work the back-and-forth for a couple months. Should be fun!

(And I can't WAIT to tackle those oboe solos in LM...)

Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you. Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

that'll be excellent, Jaily! Congrats! Although I can't wait to hear some firsthand tales of what Daphne sounds like singing "I Dreamed a Dream."

I have a feeling I'm going to be too busy "making reeds" in the pit to pay any attention to what she's waili..er, singing.

(Is anybody else totally horrified by this casting choice?!?!?!?)

Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you. Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

Can I count on it every show? :-P (And bring a posse. I love a posse.)

I can see the tourists now...

"OMG, IT'S...wait. Why is Anthony Rapp coming out of Les Miz with an oboe?"

I got Rapp'd AGAIN the other day on the subway. Ugh.

"Yes, Little Fangirl From Omaha, I DO know who I look just like...yes, Fangirl Friend, people HAVE told me that before."

Could be worse, I guess..."Hey, has anyone ever told you that you totally look like Rosie O'Donnell?"

Suzanne: I never use catalogs. I'd rather go in the store and see all the salespeople groveling and sucking up to you. Julia: Pardon me, I never knew they were so solicitous at the K-Mart.

"I have a feeling I'm going to be too busy "making reeds" in the pit to pay any attention to what she's waili..er, singing."

But somehow, I suspect, you'll find time to notice the dance cups on the boys of ACL.

Jaily...I think you're actually Ella Fitzgerald trapped in a white gay man's body.
