Constantine Kitsopoulos, a conductor I absolutely love working with, is conducting The Wizard of Oz concert with San Francisco Symphony. Too darn cool! But too darn bad for me, too; I have Nuts that conflict directly with the SFS run. Rats and double rats.

Gee, might I feel a flu bug coming on? Heh. No. I have never done that and I’m not going to start now. It’s a very bad idea. Some musicians have been caught in that lie. Needless to say it’s grounds for firing. I’m (slightly) smarter than that! Besides, lying is a bad idea. Right? I would have loved to have seen Constantine, though. Sigh.
