Reminiscing about the magic of his experiences at Harvard, Gilbert remarked, “it feels as though it could only happen here.” Before earning his position at the Philharmonic, Gilbert conducted symphonies in Cincinnati, Santa Fe, and Stockholm.

That goes from the man at the Black Jack table who has been up 48 hours drinking Scotch and trying to win a few hundred dollars back, to the person who is too afraid to bet a portion of his income on buy a house because it may lose some of its value...
