James Tolbert – 1s "paying" gig!

My very first “paying” gig…cause let’s face it…”professional” is all in the mindset…right? Anyhoo, it was Merry-Go-Round Playhouse in Auburn, NY. There were a LOT of “first” that summer. I was 19 years old….lol…omgoodness….that was just the freakiest thing to put in writing…anyway, I digress…Vinny Telesco was the director and the show was Joseph. Followed by Music Man, Best Littlewhorehouse in Texas and Evita….Magic…just magic….one of the greatest gifts is that I am in touch with a couple of those folks to this day…they’re on FB. I am so grateful for that first opportunity. Vinny, I love and miss you. Thank you Peter and Renee for this….Gosh, We are really blessed!!!!
