Imagine an orchestra populated by actors/waiters who were overactors. Imagine all these trumpet players with handkerchiefs doing their best Louis or with the jacked up bell and pooched out cheeks of Dizzy. Or the trombone section that showed up thought it was a Basie gig. Or if all these string players didn't watch what they were doing and poked someone's eye out. And I have the suspicion a "drummer" would get carried away and do his best John Bonham imitation (think "When the Levee Breaks") while the orchestra is playing the Jupiter symphony. Of course, I don't know if I'd know any difference at the podium. Maybe we could get Woody Allen to play clarinet. I can imagine him complaining about the seating arrangement, the music stand, and the lighting is all wrong.... Phillip

What a mess that would be...

What would be really interesting is to watch the Actors' union and the Musicians' union battle over which group would represent them and which wage scale they should be paid!
