You're Hired! A Spontaneous Jam Session at Guitar Center Yesterday.

We don't have anyone who teaches "horn" at the Guitar Center where I work. Horn could include trumpet, French horn, saxophone, etc. Yesterday, a fella came in, interviewing for a job as a saxophone teacher. I was on a break,so I said "let's jam!" We did Miles Davis's All Blues (in G) and an E blues tune. He sounded great! Several of my co-workers joined in, including a drummer and another guitarist. "You're hired!" I said. I hope his actual "interview" (basically a staff member saying "give me a lesson") went well. . I hope more spontaneous jams with this fella occur.

Too bad Guitar Center doesn't ask the other musicians whether they should hire a person.

Overall, I am OK with their hiring practices. We have a good crew.

@TheHorse That's always helpful when you like the people you work with/around.

@DaddyEvil Very true. I have seen more corruption and incompetence than I expected when I entered the work force.

The notes establish a different type of friendship. Though they relate to ears mostly, they engage eyes, voice, smile and brain....terrific gift from god.

I hope he was really hired, I am sure that some young people would love to learn to play trumpet or saxophone.

How interesting that the Guitar Center will most likely teach horn.

We occasion ally get requests for horn/wind teachers. I hope he gets enough students to make it worth his while.

Is there room in any of the groups you play with for him?

That's a good question. I think it is different kinds of music. But one never knows.
