[George Butler]

Fun reading:  Daniel J. Wakin, "Mahler Fan with Baton Cues Unrest in the Ranks."  The New York Times, December 18, 2008.

Dave Finlayson figures prominently in the story; follow the link in the article to his blog.  Also, see the comments to his blog entry from Kitzman, Friedman, Sauer, and others.
 
In the close of the Times article, there are also quotes from Matthew Guilford, bass trombonist with Washington's National Symphony.
 
Who knew trombonists could be such a literary bunch?
