After your comment I spoke to him at length about what it was like to conduct with McCann at the front in 1996. John, as a budding conductor, was a bit nervous, between an unrehearsed composite band and one of the world's great soloists. The band was given very little time with McCann to prepare for his solos. This was through no fault of the players or John. We both had the impression that McCann was understandably a little disappointed with the standard of the band that was to accompany him, but nevertheless got on with the business of preparing and rehearsing for his solos in a polite and professional manner. So it was not the most comfortable experience for John, but this was due mainly to the way things were organised at the time. See you in Sydney, mate. Phil Anderton.
