But the end result was music. We'll meet back here. In our walks we'd see different things from different angles and get different perspectives. In the end, however, we'd wind up at the same place. You know, that's the best comparison I've ever heard.

Anyway, after a few years I began to believe that the end of the NBC Symphony Orchestra was coming. The FCC was giving NBC flack because the network didn't have enough public service programs. After a few years, though, the pressure stopped and the network was tired of putting up with the expense and with Toscanini. I've read where Toscanini didn't want to come back and was upset. I got Mischa Mischakoff, the concert master at the time, and Carlton Cooley together to discuss this.
