My mind knows there are a language of hand jestures that mean something to the musicians watching the conductor, but I was simply posting this to admit, I couldn't understand it to save my life.
All I have is my layperson's lame attempt to make sense of it.
Conductors look to me, like some desperate kidnap victim who escaped and is trying to flag down a passing motorist to save them.

It's in the Wikipedia article that you linked. Fucking read it.

What is your problem? Stop taking life so seriously, you'll never get out of it alive.
I DO know what a conductor does. I simply don't understand it.
I was actually being SARCASTIC in admitting I could not do what a conductor does, much less play any musical instrument.
I am not into classical music in general, but I do have few favorities. I simply was being SARCASTIC in how it is all orginized and done and the fact that I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket.
