Bob Dahl - Nordstrom pianist says farewell to a great gig

Hey all.  I remember back in 1995 I was hired by Nordstrom as a pianist and thought it was just seasonal...I was ecstatic!  I've wanted to be a Nordstrom pianist since about 1993.  I was a "sub" pianist in a sense, for 10 years.  Various stores would contact me to fill in on certain days, if a pianist was ill, or on vacation, etc.  I would say YES...love to!

 

For the past couple of years I was the regular, five day a week pianist (and still am until Dec 31st 2007).  I was elated and thrilled to have this steady gig. Sadly enough, Nordstrom will be cancelling the live piano program beginning in 2008.  I have only fond memories of all the years I've performed for Nordstrom.  I will truly miss this job.

 

As a final note, it is my challenge to any other retail store out there to hire a live pianist.  I am the perfect choice for such a position.  I am passionate about what I do.  Nordstrom had pianists on their payroll for over 20 years!  What an awesome thing!

 

Sincerely,

Bob Dahl

For the past year I've been working on creating music for a
documentary about Glencairn Museum. I've finished my part of that
project, and the documentary should become available soon.

Some other fun things I've been working on lately include: creating a
music video for one of my pieces, designing merchandise, and working
on an album of love songs with my wife. Stay tuned for more on those
things.

Have a peaceful day, and a joyful Thanksgiving!

Sincerely yours,

NEW CD UPDATES
I'm still working on my new CD. It's slowly taking shape. I am not
rushing it in any way but I do plan on recording & releasing it by
February 2008 at the latest. The title of the CD is going to be
"Yesterday" and im writing some interesting pieces. I have a lot of
material that I'm processing. But between one thing and another it's
taking time. That's good... i guess! :)
