"Practice stating the largest sum of money you can without stuttering in the mirror every morning!"
This is how Quincy ended up being paid what was then the largest sum of money for a single movie underscore when he was called into the "Heat of the Night" project.
He blurted out the sum of money required and the boss did not hesitate, just said, "fine!"
He only found out later what kind of a good deal he had managed to make.
Go for that gig, man, because if you don't I might...

Ditto to that. If my calander weren't so full I might come to Shreveport and check it out. I stayed in one of the casino hotels when I was down in January for the arranger jam and they are nice. Good luck Dean!
