Double Bass What the Audience Will See … and what I see

The first photo’s are what the audience will see at Vancouver’s Orpheum Theatre tomorrow.
Beautiful.

The bottom photo is what the hired bassist, me, sees for a 5:30 call during rush hour. Tasked with upright bass, amplifier and music stand. Looking for parking.

Yeah, those old theaters weren’t much for big backstage areas with loading docks.

The thing I love most about being a musician is the luxurious lifestyle.
