I can tell you that around here, Roger, it is a sin to play the Eb, een
when it has solo parts. Why? "Because the director doesn't like it's
sound! Besides, the parts are always transposed and cued to the Solo Bb
so what's the difference." Those are excuses that I don't like, because
if you have the correct clarinet around it is insane to transpose! That
is ten times worse than not making an effort to track down a C, or not
being able to find one.

Quote(s) of the Day:

"Inspiration may be a form of superconciousness,
or perhaps of subconciousness--I wouldn't know.
But I am sure it is the antithesis of
self-conciousness." -Aaron Copland

"Ineffective people live day after day with unused potential. They
experience synergy only in small, peripheral ways in their
lives. But creative experiences can be produced regularly,
consistently, almost daily in people's lives. It requires
enormous personal security and openness and
a spirit of adventure."
-Stephen R. Covey
