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, 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."
