I apologize to Sarah publicly. I didn't mean ALL kids these days. But
Sarah, I'm sure you've met a few young idiots in your lifetime, and with
the drug and smoking rate going up, pregnant teens, and phenomenal
divorce rates have all contributed to the fact that a lot of adults are
absolutely petrified of the X generation. And a lot of their fear IS
justified, too.
But look at Craig Countryman. I'm going to toot his horn for a few
minutes. He is seventh in his class, a drill instructor, can play
several instruments quite well, and a very mature young man. Now we
(hopefully) all know on Klarinet that there are a lot of good guys and
girls like him, they're just harder to find.

Mea culpa. And I know how you feel. I'm not THAT old.
