conductor sacks violinist

[MartyMuppets]

Remember this live action bit?
It had a man conducting a duet rehearsal between a pianist and a violinist.
The conductor wasn't happy with the music. There didn't appear to be any problem with the pianist however the violinist seemed to be playing out of time or off key or something and the conductor would cry stop! and the word would appear in big capital letters like a subtitle at the bottom of the screen.
After several attempts to get things right he screamed stop several times.
Finally he said go and the word go appeared. The violinist left because he knew the conductor meant by that word go "You're sacked. You can't play well at all so buzz off."

That "STOP!" clip would be near the top of my list if you'd asked people about live-action clips generally. Keep those classic memories coming, folks...

3 times the conductor had to stop the practice because of the violinist unable to tune his violinist and after the 3rd time the conductor had to stop the he ended up screaming 3 times STOP! and then said Go! and I gues the violinist slams the door on his way out because the room shakes and you hear rattling. what intersting about this film is I think the conductor might of been the late Arthur Fiedler of The Boston Pop Pops Orchestra. don't know why it's called the Pop's Orchestra I know there was a PBS series called Evening at Pops. don't think it's on anymore some here maybe aware of a E.A.P. special which was originally made in 1971 with the SS cast and muppets there perforimg songs and so forth. interestingly they reran that episode some 10 years after it aired which is unusual since most PBS shows from that far back usually don't get reshown.
