Hm.  You haven't played in some of the orchestras I've played in.  Some
classical musicians are the most anti-intellectual people I have ever met.
One stand partner I had I would even qualify as EXCEPTIONALLY stupid.
Had never read a book in his life.  Had never once bought a classical CD.
Played his instrument well because he had spent literally his entire life
practicing it but ask him to boil a potato and fuggetabouddit.
