Subj: Saliva: friend or foe?
Date: Wed, 15 May 1996 14:39:01 -0400

While we're on the subject of having to deal with annoying human
design while playing the clarinet (i.e, air leaking out of noses, fingers
that refuse to extend an extra inch to meet a bassett horn's design,
etc.), perhaps this is an appropriate time to get some feedback from other
players on excessive salivation! This does not strike often, but when it
does, it is incredibly annoying!
Any hints on what to do to keep from gurgling through a gig?
(Don't be shy: spit it out!)
