December 9. Christmas concert in Newburgh. The Jewish conductor from Australia says, solemnly, that he had considered taking the Hanukkah part out of the program, but then decided to leave it in, and when the audience applauds, he asks them to applaud a second time, for themselves. Between two pieces, while the orchestra continues to play, he then delivers a Jew joke, as he does every year.
