A corrective detail (or two).
A. Robert (Bob) Johnson was and is the founder/Director of the NY
Philomusica ensemble. I believe his tenure in the NY Philharmonic was in
the late Chambers era, though possibly he may have still been there
while Joe Singer was playing principal. In any case, I believe it has to
be ca. 35 years ago.
Also, I recall reading that our sainted one, Dennis, was preparing to
enlarge his DB Wind Ensemble to a chamber orchestra, with him wielding
the stick. This was in 1957 and the fates apparently had other plans for
which podium he was destined.
