[Dixielandjazz] Re: Conductors (was The Music Business Changes Constantly)

[Nancy Giffin]

Okay, enough already with the conductor jokes, my friends.
Talk about multitasking! If you've never seen the conductor's score book,
you'll notice that the facing pages are filled with all the instruments'
parts--and in relatively tiny print!--while the musicians only need to know
and follow along with their own part.

But going back to the mention of orchestras saving money by riding a bus
instead of flying, I immediately envisioned a bunch of classical musicians
suddenly turning to jazz and blues (at least the poets and "true artists"
among them.) (Tongue pressed firmly in cheek.)
