Ali said, "You're going to conduct the symphony." I think we had like 35 musicians. You know, it was it was a different time. I really didn't take it that seriously. I looked at it as a great opportunity. Like like they were saying, we were just having a good time. And there were no errors at all. Really not. Wow. Ali said, "Do it." And well, you see, the thing was that I really didn't know what I was doing. And when you haven't a clue what you're doing, you just get up there and just do whatever happens. And if I could take a minute to be technical, >> Yes. I was not born a natural conductor. You know, some people get on a bike and they're just off. And some people, they just never get the balance. I was not born as a natural conductor. So, just to get technical a little bit, when a conductor conducts, it's almost like the beat is like when he's banging on the table. So, it's like one, two, three. So, it almost sounds like >> the beat is on the way up. It almost looks like that. But what comes naturally to a lot of people, and to me, then the beat starts when you're going down. So, it's like one instead of one. So, it's just one, two, three. That's wrong. It should be one, two, three. That's right. >> So, it's a whole kind of thing, right? So, I get up there in front of 30 musicians, and they're all looking at me. That Musicians always do that. Who's this conductor? Who does he think he is? You know, And I start going one, and they're doing something totally different than it's in my mind. So, the whole thing was a disaster. It We pulled it off one way or the other, but it was it was fun. It >> It was a learning curve.
