Accompanist Quotes

I went in and started vocalizing with the accompanist and Andrew walked in as we were preparing. He didn`t say hello, didn`t introduce himself, and just sat down in front of me and said, "Shall we?" I thought to myself it was my one shot so I had better just stand up and do it, so I didn`t introduce myself, I nodded to the accompanist and I did the two biggest numbers in the show. Then he stood up and said, "That was great. I`m Andrew."
