David Dukes: Byron De Veer

Quotes 

• Ann Romano : How come you never got married?

  Byron De Veer : Never enough time for it. I joke a lot about music, but it takes longer to become a good conductor than it does to become a surgeon. So you end up learning to live through the music. Mozart taught me to laugh, and Beethoven to cry.

  Ann Romano : Most men wouldn't admit to the crying part.

  Byron De Veer : Most men never get to conduct Beethoven.
