"Clams" is a term I've never heard! Please elaborate. I, too,
love that CD - except for that %#^%^ shrill piccolo player.
Maybe as I get a bit older I won't notice it so much. Also wish
the mikes were set up better - a lot of the sound is muddy.
But - Bob does a fine job on that clarinet (and I'll always
remember Bob's Poulenc Sonata with band from this summer's
ClarinetFest).
