Stick and Shtick

What a pleasure this is! No story, no plot, just the results of what happened when Danny Kaye was attending one of Mehta's rehearsals and he asked Kaye if he would like to try conducting. Mehta claimed the orchestra sounded better with Kaye conducting. Certainly, they never laughed as much. Great classical music and great classical burlesque humor.
