I don't think that this is true in all pursuits. I was arguing
the other day with a friend of mine who was complaining that
his choir director was a lousy singer -- and therefore could not
be a good vocal conductor.

I pointed out that the maestro of the orchestra doesn't need to
be able to play all of the instruments to be a good conductor.


But it helps if he can read the music... :-)
