Interview
Philip Smith
This week saw travel south to the capital for an interview for a Churchill Fellowship. It was nerve-wracking, to say the least. This luthier is more comfortable in a workshop behind a plane than making public presentations, but did his best and took the double bass along for moral support. The applicants had to make a ten minute presentation to a panel of 9 people around a boardroom table, after which they are peppered with questions. The reception by the panel was quite warm and most of the questions they fired had been anticipated but who knows? Great references and the double bass hopefully gave me an edge.
This week's musical selection in the workshop is featuring
