A good ol' evening
Saturday, March 14, 2009
All of us have seen what happens when a fish gets out of the water or a turtle gets turned on its back. That was my feeling as I stood before the Fort Scott Civic Symphony as the guest conductor during the Good Ol' Days back in 1985. After being reluctantly convinced that this would be a good thing to do, the doubts began to set in. They were further amplified when I went to my one and only rehearsal three nights before the performance. The orchestra was quite reassuring as they promised they wouldn't watch me, and therefore, could keep from being confused.
