No shortage of orchestral stories

I've written many times on this blog about my middle and high school orchestra director, Mr. D., who was never at a loss for words.  One day, I told him as such.

"You sure have a lot of stories," I said.

"I've got a million of 'em," he replied.

And, so he did...So do most band, orchestra, and chorus directors, I'd imagine.  Sometimes, they'll bring up those stories at the oddest times.  I guess that shouldn't be too surprising, though.  As one of my blog readers says, "Hearing all those wrong notes must do horrible things to a person."
