What happened between Florence Henderson and Swartz?

I'm glad you got a camera, Rita. That is something to celebrate. I hate the name of Weird Fish but won't let that stop me from trying it.

Ah. I was (let us just say) a little too far away to see the expressions on the faces of the orchestra members. We were doing ok to tell that there were orchestra members. Loved the Tenney piece, though. All that negative space!

...Yeah, I was sufficiently disturbed by that interaction between Florence and the conductor that I had promptly buried it in my mind, hoping to never think of it again. It was kind of entertaining looking at the appalled expressions on the faces of the second violins and violas when it happened, though. (The first violins of course all love the conductor, since they're first violins. I know this because I'm a veteran of a youth orchestra myself!)

Hey, I was there, and I don't have kids (and we snuck out for the sing along as well). Was it just us, or was the forced flirtation between Schwartz and Henderson creepy, and not really appropriate for a children's concert?

Rita, you're so sweet! I miss you too!

Oh, thank god you didn't talk me into this, not to mention the fact that I was hundreds of miles away. Don't shirk from your Ced-like duties. You have a good ear.
