>WHAT IT TAKES TO BE IN AN ORCHESTRA
>
>A musical director was having a lot of trouble with one drummer. He talked
>and talked and talked with the drummer, but his performance simply didn't
>improve.
>
>Finally, before the whole orchestra, he said, "When a musician just can't
>handle his instrument and doesn't improve when given help, they take away
>the instrument, and give him two sticks, and make him a drummer."
>
>A stage whisper was heard from the percussion section: "And if he can't
>handle even that, they take away one of his sticks and make him a
>conductor."
