A recent post from Michael Hovnanian (Chicago Symphony, DePaul University, Discordia Music, and a Contrabass Conversations guest as well) reminded me of a post I wrote a while back called The Babbling Conductor. I wonder if the conductor I referenced (albeit in a roundabout way) ever found out about my post…

Michael’s post on wordy stick wavers:

Already looking at an uphill trek to Golgotha, the early music specialist ascending our podium might fair better lightening his load a bit. While it may be possible to teach an old dog new tricks, it is probably wise not to talk to him about about it.
