... referencing an audition. If you said, "John Lennon famously said, 'I'd like to thank you on behalf of the group and ourselves and hope we passed the audition.' He made this remark immediately following the final song of The Beatles' rooftop concert on January 30, 1969, at their Apple Corps headquarters in London," you get 15 bonus points.
The Hip Replacements auditioned for a gig in May today. It was kind of a rehearsal for us, as well. We were playing a song when the woman who was auditioning us came in - first thing out of her mouth: "You've got the job."
We did several other songs for her... 'cause, we were there. This one is not for an Alzheimer's group or charity, so this gig is paid. She is part of a women's chorale group and they are putting on a concert - they'd like us to back them on a few songs, a set of their own, and a set of ours. I asked a couple questions so we'd know what we need for PA equipment. She left happy and will be in touch for final arrangements.
The last time I did an "audition," it was for a band back in the mid-70s. I played with them for several years, until we moved to the Black Hills.
