I think my favorite experience is whatever I'm doing now.
I listen to everything, I listen to all artists that come along.
Although we are being presented in Carnegie Hall, we have to furnish a budget for our guest stars, and for the music writing - which is a huge budget in any orchestra that plays popular music.
Well, I worked with lots of different artists, of course.
Then I went to radio with Sinatra and I watched that disappear.
Symphonic orchestras have almost become a glut in the market.
