Welcome back to the podcast! What a delight to get back into the podcast season with a blast. We’ve got TWO amazing guests with us today: Drew Alexander Ford, (also known online as “That Viola Kid”) and cellist Roland Gjernes View this post on Instagram Finally got some footage from our performances from #LincolnCenterStage–courtesy of some really kind patrons! 🤗 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ NGL, I never thought I'd ever have to learn the opening Clarinet solo for Rhapsody in Blue, but I'm glad I did 😜 More vids to come 🙌🏽 #TheFutureIsViola @rws_nyc A post shared by tvk (@thatviolakid) on Feb 28, 2018 at 1:15pm PST Also be sure to check out Drew’s new podcast: “The Faking Notes Podcast” Audition Postings for Lincoln Center Stage: Lincoln Center Stage Auditions Some photos of my two contracts on ships: The O.G. Adagio Strings quartet in the Dining Room. Funny enough, we didn’t play here that often, it was so loud, so sightreading new pieces was what we did sometimes here. Also this was like our first week. We ditched the dinner jackets shortly there after. This is one of the only pictures I have that shows how small our cabin was. Behind me is a desk, bunkbeds on the right, a closet on the left, behind Ryan is the bathroom. If one person was getting dressed, and the other person had to leave, a well orchestrated series of tetris moves involving closing the closet, moving into the bathroom, closing the bathroom door, opening the cabin door had to happen….in that order. Me driving the ship…well, not really. But that is the helm. SCCHNNACCK-TIME! Zoe here always said it the best. My second quartet in the Bahamas. Amazing Two Happy Chappies at the Panama Canal. Also it’s hot.

Today is somewhat of a per service lite version, as I don’t have my usual co-hosts with me today. We hit the perfect storm of scheduling last month, (no, I’m not talking about that polar vortex) We all just got really busy, and being in 3 different time zones didn&#8217;t help either. Even after we found a day, we had to scrap it because the internet for me and Anna kept falling out. So, they will all be back soon. But for today, you’re still in for a treat. I called up my buddy, Paul Nelson, a cellist in Nashville, who besides having recorded for people like U2, Paul McCartney, One republic, and a million other people. Has reinvented himself many times over, from Arranging, producing, contracting, being a clinician, project manager, and more. He’s one of the most driven, creative, and productive people I’ve met. &nbsp; I know you will find this interesting, because normally on the podcast, we spend a lot of time speaking through the lens as classical musicians, but many of us make a portion of our incomes from commercial work. Also, many of us also supplement our gig income with side hustles or adjacent gigs that utilize a combination of skills.&nbsp; And so it was a treat to sit down with someone who is doing all of these things, and to hear his advice on how to find joy and more money in the process. Links We Mentioned: Paul&#8217;s Big Take-Aways: -Work on yourself as much as your instrument -Learn how to network well -Have pro-gear. You&#8217;re going to need them! (Maybe that&#8217;s just a music stand at the moment, but for others, maybe that means a better mic, in-ear monitors, etc.) Things we Mentioned: One of Paul&#8217;s Gold Records: Steve Green: (look who that is at 3:09!!!!) The Nashville Number System The New Psychology of Achievement: Breakthrough Strategies for Success and Happiness in the 21st Century <a target="_blank" href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0671027034/ref=as_li_tl?
