Musician's Job Board!

Well here's a nice resource -- and particularly appropriate given the current economic climate!

musicalchairs is a "job" board for professional musicians. Orchestra managers can post openings; musicians can search positions. Visited by 10,000 folks daily!

Here's what they say about themselves:

"MISSION STATEMENT

musicalchairs aims to provide a cost-effective means for orchestras, opera companies and conservatoires to advertise vacancies worldwide. Although musicalchairs is widely read worldwide, we respect and value national job markets. We understand how crucial it is for classical music managers to reach the best possible list of applicants so that top class appointments can be made. We recognize our responsibility to make the listings as clear as possible "

You'll Like Mondays Now! Great Piano Site!

Watching the Florida-Oklahoma game ... there's a frequent "House" commercial where they're playing the Boomtown Rats "I Don't Like Mondays" in the background. Decided to visit YouTube to watch the video and stumbled across a video showing an overhead view of a piano keyboard and instructions on how to play "I Don't Like Mondays".

The video came from Piano Bible at http://www.pianobible.com. Passed that way and was tickled to find even more "How to Play" videos ... including a great "Great Balls of Fire"! Way cool, lots of fun!

You'll find a lot of piano lessons and tutorials, plus some really cool "how to's". Some of the runs are fabulous!

If you're into keyboards, stick this neat resource in your back pocket -- you'll be glad you did!
