It is not together, but the ensemble is perfect.
Why do you always insist on playing while I'm trying to conduct?
With us tonight is William Warfield, who is with us tonight. He is a wonderful man, and so is his wife.
I'm one of the boys, no better than the last second violinist. I'm just the lucky one to be standing in the center, telling them how to play.
Even when you are not playing you are holding me back.
It is not as difficult as I thought it was, but it is harder than it is.
