We know James.
He's been here for a dozen years.
He's a star employee.
We use him for all kinds of media.
He's a great ambassador for the Nashville Symphony.
There's no legs to this thing at all.
These kids are crazy.
I'm sure it will just go away.
That's the management style at the Nashville Symphony.
If you just ignore something for long enough, it's just going to go away.
But that is what happened.
They said when I drove by this kid's house on the way to work, they claimed I was stalking them.
So I wrote that email after work, after I found that out.
I was very heated.
I'd had enough.
And I was like, you know what?
If management's not going to protect me from this, I'm going to quit the orchestra.
I was teaching full-time at Vanderbilt at the time.
I had plenty of session work.
I had other orchestras calling me to come in and play as a guest.
