It is 1am, the whole house is asleep, and I just got back from practicing and am now sitting down to write a blog post. To many people this would be absolutely insane, but to me, it is simply normal hours of operation: musician hours. Not all musicians keep a schedule like this, but many do. There is something about this line of work that makes for extremely productive evening and night people. In fact, sometimes i feel like I do my best work after 11pm (watch the wisecracks people 
). Now, if only we could move those 8pm concerts back a bit.
Actually, I did play a symphony concert in Madrid with the San Francisco Symphony that started at roughly 11pm (I think it started at some weird time like 10:50). It was the second orchestra show of the evening in the hall and we played until sometime after 1am. It was like playing the second set of a salsa gig! After I got back to the hotel I went out to a Madrid disco and stayed out until 5am or so, but that is a story for another time. Ah yes, musician hours…
