The Joys of Conducting 2005-12-16
It's hard to explaing the incredible feeling I used to get when I became a composer/conductor. Starting as a player, in the trenches so to speak, and then stepping on the podium is a unique transition.
These men and women I got to play with in Hollywood were not just great and marvelous musician's, they had become my friends and confidants.
I remember the very first time I stood on the podium. It was at Universal Studios and it was for a show called It Happened One Christmas starring and produced by Marlo Thomas. I came in early in the morning, 60 some musician's ready to go to work, stood on the podium and around the studio were loud and encouraging comments like "yo! Bill", "Way to go, Billy" etc. I knew it was going to be a good day!
This picture reminds me of the times of dialogue between myself and these great musician's. I would say most likely that someone, probably, in the rhythm section, was explaining to me how they could play it in a different and better way! Would I mind?
Go for it guys and thanks a heap of bunches for making me more successful and giving me a lot of support and fun in the process! Back to History Flashbacks 1970's
