Hi Jay! 'Sorry to hear of your situation; I can certainly sympathize with you. Florida does not seem to be very supportive of arts organizations, in general, and they lack the long term backing of our northern counterparts. It seems the only groups that will remain solvent through this tough economic time, are those having substantial endowments which can cover their basic operations.

As for life without an orchestra gig--- It leaves something to be desired. I will stay in central for another year when my youngest son graduates high school. I just hope I'm not too old to get into an audition. My resume yells OLD GUY!

Good luck and hang in there!
