Hi Abram – I bet there is a way, but I’m afraid I don’t know anything about the S.A. scene.

I can almost identify with that. As long as I practice a tune frequent I could eventually get it down. Though I’m poor at reading notes. I usually play by ear.

Your estimated salary for a guest group. Is that per week for the group or per week per musician in the group?

Hi Dave, I am a jazz vocalist. Currently I perform in a trio and a quartet playing jazz standards. My bands could not commit to a job on a cruise ship. However, I can and would love the opportunity to sing on a ship. Is there a website of bands that already perform on ships that might have lost a musician and are looking for a replacement? Example: female jazz vocalist needed for cruise ship band.

Thanks!!
