A confession:
.
.
If i'm in a restaurant with someone, the more animated the conversation gets,
the faster i shovel food into my mouth!
I only become aware of it when a look of horror creeps up on the other person's face!
I. thought I was the only one affected by speed, but it happens to others in different ways.
Way back when, I read a snippet of a story of an orchestra conductor who got stopped for speeding.
He was horrified. Shocked. Completely befuddled.
"Officer, you won't believe this. But I wasn't aware i was speeding.
I'm an orchestra conductor. I was listening to Brahms 2nd Symphony on the car radio.
Without being aware, I was conducting the music with one hand and driving with the other.
I was so engrossed in the music, that I didn't realize that the more the music was building up
to a crashing crescendo, the faster I was driving the car!"
A crescendo - or hitting a peak - will do it every time....
.
Like the story of Leonard Bernstein.
The much beloved and charismatic conductor of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra.
was leading the orchestra in a build up of a crescendo so powerful
that at the highest point he was so swept away, he exploded.
and burst out so loud that the entire audience heard every word...
"It's Orgasmic!!!!!!!!!!
