I agree. They don’t make them like that anymore. What a gracious man, he was!
One student cancelled a lesson I was scheduled to play for, and neglected to call me. Another student asked me to accompany an oboist at the convocation on Friday because he "doesn't have time" to learn the piano accompaniment....even though by his own admission he's had the music for several weeks; so now I have to learn it in 2 days. The first rehearsal I played for this morning was moved to a different building and nobody told me; well, they did leave a note on the door of the original location but a quick phone call to save the extra running would have been appreciated.
GRRR.
Small things, I know, but small frustrations have a way of accumulating.
Oh well. Guess I'll survive.
