Not Ready?

Ok, it’s the night before our next shoot, and I feel unprepared.  I don’t know why; it’s not like I haven’t been involved in plenty of news productions that were woefully unprepared, but I digress.  Tomorrow’s call is 7:45AM with the first shot at 9AM with bassist Christian McBride. 


When I was doing some research on Christian, I found out that he not only plays with his band, he plays with other jazz and non-jazz musicians.  I thought, that’s cool, but then I saw that he played three years with Sting.  Now you may be thinking what I was thinking, but I’ll say it anyway, Sting plays bass - why would he want a bass player?  Then I thought, wow, Sting let’s someone else play bass; he must be good.  I can’t wait.
