No I don't mean underskirts, I worry about slipping up, making a mistake especially when it comes to getting everything right for a performance. I have nightmares about arriving at the wrong venue (it has happened on one occasion I arrived at the Roman Catholic Southwark Cathedral instead of the Anglican one), or with the wrong clothes (again it happens white shirt instead of black etc.) so I like to make sure I avoid these sort of slips.
As I said earlier, tomorrow I have agreed to play in a concert with a local band that I am not a member of but am a good friend to. Just to make sure that I had all the details correct I sent a text message to the conductor.
"OK for Sat. please confirm time venue and dress"
The reply;~
"7pm St. Paul's Church. Black dress for you"
Does he know something he shouldn't? as he often wears a kilt as formal wear I replied
"Are you suggesting I wear a dress to distract the audience from you wearing a skirt?"
Having said all that I do have night mares, real night mares about getting on stage and not having my music, sometimes I wake up in near panic about a concert that isn't even real, but where I found myself on the stage all dressed up with my instrument and ready to play a solo but with no music so unable to perform.
There should be none of these problems on Sunday, I will be wearing an LBD and my music is in the trombone case! If you haven't bought your tickets yet get them here.
