…with my headhones on, of course, and I just “conducted” Tales of the Vienna Woods, by my pal Johann and scared the shit out of poor D who is a died in the wool Garth Brooks fan.
Here is the song that scared my wife when she saw my arms and head bobbin…
I was wantin’ to wonder… do some of y’all conduct too, or is this just a Quasi-demented kinda thang?
I also wanted to say that I miss Walter Cronkite hosting the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra on New Year’s Day.
A friend of mine used to do this all the time. It would drive me crazy. It didn’t matter what kind of music – pop, rock, country, band, classical, whatever.
We’re both school band directors now. He may still do it, but I don’t hang with him as much since college.
I love conducting the orchestral parts of Klaatu’s “Hope” album. My wife and I were listening to it while on a short road trip last night, and she said this morning that her favorite part of the trip was watching me conduct.
