Wanted: Singer for Gospel Quartet

Must believe what he sings, have a natural gift for harmony and rhythm, preferably be able to sing leads while understanding that talent is a gift and nothing to be egotistical about, must enjoy praise that other group members receive as much as self-praise.

Job requires weekly practice, including substantial travel time, ability to perform during normal 9-5 work hours and weekends. Performance venues range from churches to nursing homes, homeless shelters, folk festivals, and a variety of social events along east coast and as far west as the MidWest.   Most performances are done on a volunteer basis. Occasional paying jobs do not offest cost of being in the group.

If interested, contact Jerry Rasmussen

Yes, it's true... I am looking to expand my quartet to a quintet. Not that I'm really going to post a job description, but when I think of the demands required for a job where the harder you work the more money you're likely to lose, it's no wonder that finding someone is so difficult. It made me wonder how you'd write a job description for a folk singer, an instrument player, a promoter or a coffee house owner. If you're honest about it, you wonder why people would even apply. And yet in our own way, all of us have applied for equally modest, low-paying jobs.

Anyone want to take a stab at a job description for another position?

Someone could write one for Max (or Joe and the Joe Clones...)

And be nice about it...
