Don't get me started on percussion players, or for that matter trumpet players on afterbeats! It may be that I'm so used to blurry vision, that I can tell who the conductor's looking at. YMMV. I'm getting those cataracts out this spring. Herb --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > In a message dated 1/24/

Assuming that the vision problem can be corrected by glasses, bifocals are not necessary, and you can save the cost. If the corrected vision focuses on the music (about 28 inches), the conductor can still be seen clearly enough to follow perfectly. Who wants to see the conductor in perfect focus an
