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
