"We should think of the church as an orchestra in which the different churches play on different instruments while a Divine Conductor calls the tune."

The life of any musician really doesn't fall into a normal schedule at all. Every week there are different rehearsals, different days and nights of performances, so we don't have a particular pattern that we can follow. For a conductor, it is a little bit worse because we have to allow for traveling.
