It was the curse of perfectionism. Some people have trouble being spontaneous in music. They have to have everything written out.
Which is great for the Classical orchestra, but doesn’t really work with Rock.

Good evening, ML!
*HUGS*
Indeed, some classical musicians have to have things written out. Yet I had the privilege to sing in Chorus under the baton of Rafael Fruebeck du Burgos - "The Damnation of Faust." He conducted without a score.
On another occasion, we were singing "Alexandr Nevsky" with a Russian soprano, whose name I forget, who sang without notes.
Even I, a not-so-humble chorister, customarily digested the material to the point that I did not need to carry a score into the performance.
Do you think that I may possibly have the stuff to to be a Rock Musician? It's been my life's dream!

Well...since you ARE the Music Director, maybe you can get him to loosen up a little with time.
