42. ”A Well-Stocked Tool Kit” - Shelagh Abate: French Horn

Shelagh Abate is a Broadway veteran who plays the French horn.  She has opened the productions for Disney's Frozen, A Gentleman's Guide to Love and Murder, Honeymoon in Vegas, Anastasia, Evita, Fiddler on the Roof, South Pacific, and other shows as a principal and a sub.  We talk about "snow calls".  Shelagh talks about the need for a well-stocked tool kit for a pit musician, and how even in Broadway the pit musicians are "smashed in the pit like contortionists!"  Also, for the first time ever(!), we answer listener questions that were posted in advance (around the 40:45 mark).  Check out more about Shelagh at https://shelaghabate.com/
