“Mom! Jason has done it again.”
“What has Jason done now Carole?”
“He’s taken my baton. He just doesn’t want any competition. He says girls can’t be band conductors. I want to be just like him. I can see myself with my arms swinging through the air with the band following my every movement.My speciality will be outdoor concerts under a gazebo in small New England towns.”
“Can’t we both be conductors Mom? I know we can! Some day you will be able to watch both of us conducting our orchestras under the summer evening stars. You just watch Mom!
Cute story and video, Danny. Never underestimate a determined woman. 🙂 — Suzanne

Dear Danny,
I couldn’t help but hear Ethel Merman after reading your title. Everyone knows the best man for the job is a woman. Nicely done.
Shalom,
