Allrighty-roo! We’re getting an early start this morning because today is my first day at the Humane Society. Oh my. Oh, well, they can’t say I don’t belong there – I walked into the adoption center yesterday with the intention of getting a cat and walked out with cats, plural (yes, I will post pictures of them later, un-music-related or no!).
Luckily, I have risen to the occasion with a good one. Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Rowan Atkinson!
Note to conductors: PLEASE start performing like this. Your concerts will be packed. Carney, I’m looking at you.
Note to Bekah: I have not forgotten your edict; we shall trololo next week.
Love it.
He’s also done a pianist and a drummer in a similar style.
Of course, then there’s his Mr. Bean version of conducting:
And there is a chap in Australia who conducts like this… for real. As a joke, but with orchestra. I’m not a fan, but he seems to sell out.
Of course, I learned most about conducting by watching how not to behave!
Enjoy.

I’m offended. Clearly this buffoon has had no training and is mocking the art & craft of conducting. Also, I use two batons at once to make myself twice as good. Everyone knows that. Duh.
Peace out –
Dr. Carney
