In reply to Bill Brough. Good Musicians make magic, and good magicians make music . . .

@ Jeff Stone:
You’re welcome. And I like “musi.” Connects us with the muse, which is where the term “musician” originated. I also like the connection it creates with “magi,” because when we’re doing it right, musicians do make magic.

@Chet – Maybe if you were more PREPARED . . . Oh wait . . . I get it. 🙄

@Bill – Excellent comment brother. Thanks. It’s true much of what works for the magi also works for the musi (?) . . . and pretty much any of the performance arts. 😎

Great idea! As a musician and not a magician, I know about remembering all your equipment for a gig. I also know about having too much stuff in my gig cases–stuff went in but most of it never came out again, with the result that I used to lug stuff around for years on end. So a checklist is an excellent idea, and one that is laminated and can be re-used with a grease pencil is an even better one. Thanks for the cross pollenization!

I was going to comment on this, but I can’t remember where I left my notes, and I lost my pencil, and — aw, rats!
