I just got a call from Klaus-Peter Franck, one of the members of the band that I sang with for those couple of gigs this year. He plays with a Rolling Stones cover band, and they need some backup singers for four gigs in July.

1) I will still be here for all four gigs.

2) I would get to sing with a real live band in front of about a thousand people at least once.

3) Each gig pays about 150 Euros.

Of course, I already have plans that conflict with the first gig, and I'm trying to have a recital on the same day as the third one. I don't know if the recital will even be possible, but I'm praying for quidance on that. I'm meeting with Tim today to pick out music. It may be possible to have the recital in the afternoon (which is what I was thinking anyway) and still make it to the concert that night.

Wow, this is big. Praying for quidance is definitely a good thing. I'm in way over my head here. Just the prospect of being able to support myself for August and September without relying on Mom (or on Becca selling my cello) is a strong reason for doing this.

600 Euros would mean not having to worry about money until mid-September, when I get paid as a GTA. And singing with a band, a real one, would be a great experience.

Wow.

I'll write again when I'm not so overwhelmed.
