Tips from ex Biloxi surveillance

[Blackjacktilt]

Sounds like a bitter ex employee who is stretching the truth and telling a paranoid card counter what he wants to hear....

On my last trip. I found Biloxi to be very user friendly. But... That's just my little opinion. User mileage may vary.

ud be surprised how well being a musician correlates to counting cards, I know I sure was. giving music lessons pays $50 dollars an hour and still allows you to take a vacation and cancel. On the road you can do 3-4 hours before a show and 2 hours after it in any small dingy casino. Also, math and music use the same part of the brain and its a kind of a spiritual healing you need from the superficial casino world. I'm sure if other musicians where to find out this alternative to supplemental income they would stop complaining about the music performance degrees. James Grosjean's partner who'm he calls the fastest counter in the world is a folk musician from New York City.

One of my favorite professors in law school told me that the best students he's had over the years were music majors. I don't know how many musicians end up in law school (I knew of a few), but he said he believed their ability to focus on studying and practicing for long periods of time was a major reason for their success.

Make sense me and my band mates spent 4 hours only solo practice (scales, harmony, theory and singing) and another 4 hours a day for rehearsal. Eight hours a day total everyday for 2 weeks before a tour. The working part of music takes a lot of discipline.

When I interviewed for my first student job as a software developer, the recruiter immediately noticed, from the personal interests section of my resume, that I am a musician. This was during the first minute of the interview. He stated that "musicians make excellent programmers" and all we talked about for the rest of the time was music. I was worried afterward that we hadn't talked about software at all. However, after leaving the interview room and before I could even get my coat on, he came out to tell me that I had the job.

Being a musician is just one of those "indicators" that leaps off the page as a manager or hiring executive. It shows commitment, patience, practice, work ethic, and a little creativity. Its not the only one out there that leaps off the page, but it is certainly one of the biggest ones available. I know a few HR guys that ONLY fill critical positions with guys who minored in some form of musicianship or had a profound musical extracurricular.
