In retrospect, I don’t blame anybody but myself for what happened. Auditions are tough and “state of mind” is key. I was lucky to get the opportunities I did and, very happily, the “door was open” for frequent subbing and touring in the following years. I did get one “teeny, tiny, guilty” bit of satisfaction when the Philharmonic 10,000th concert occurred and they made the photo below the “centerfold” of the glossy booklet that marked the occasion. Like the R.E.M. song goes, “that’s me in the corner”.
