Subj: Benny, lips, and my prank

I was getting tired of reading "Help--Unsubscribe Me" etc. every day
so I decided to unsubscribe the King of Swing. As we know, in the
mid-40s, BG studied with the redoubtable Reginald ("Regie") Kell,
a double-lipper.

I am a double-lip player. I've never read discussion in this forum
about it. It's great for keeping mouthpieces pristine. It requires
four months of scar tissue development (how attractive!) Sometimes
I'd like to go back to single lip, but I think my embouchure genes
won't let me. ----Bill Fogle.
