The Conductor

19-12-2009

I never really understood the importance of the conductor. Between you and me, what the hell is this guy doing? Do you really need somebody waving a stick in your face to play the violin? Does that really help you out? I can see how we need him at the beginning, okay? Tap, tap, tap. Start! Okay. I could see how you need that. But once we're going, okay. Once it's all happening... what do we need him for then? I don't see the cellist looking up, "I'm confused. I don't know what to do." And the conductor goes, "Do this. Like this..." (impersonating a conductor) "Oh, ok, thank you. Thank you very much."
