So glad to be on set with musicians working today. The last 2 months have been pretty much back to normal with lots of musicians filming, via #InstrumentalCasting! Muliple paid covid tests are taken, sometimes days apart, online questionnaires taken, temperature taken and nasal swabs done with new techniques that are quick, easy and painless! Everyone wears masks and all are social distanced. I wish the theaters and larger recording studios would figure this out so we could get back to work!
