Conductors and Other Catastrophes

Adored cult figure or dictatorial wielder of the baton? Both apply to conductors, often to one and the same person, depending on one's perspective. But even orchestral musicians, although naturally team players, are by no means innocent lambs; often, they can only defend themselves against "the one up there" with wit and malice. Bob Ross, horn player and bandleader ("No conductor!", he emphasizes), knows what he's talking about: his anecdotes and excursions into music history are incredibly funny, but also shed light on the dark sides of a world where even tragic moments span five octaves – black Scottish humor at its best.
