Oh yeah?! Well, the Bb Contrabass Clarinet totally whoops down on the
oboe...because...uh...because I can take the Monsterbass and smash that
little oboe to pieces with it...yeah, that's the ticket!"

Isn't Bb Contrabass a gas? I love to play it, mine is a LeBlanc metal
to low D, I am thinking of adding low C# and C for a laugh. Remember,
tho, you could smash a Bb clarinet with it, too, as easily as the
delicate little oboe.

Vibrahdoe? Ay tell jou, mine, we don' need no steeking vibrahdoe!"

Do you watch old movies or listen to Cartalk?

I must say I admire your list of nouns, but how can one be both a Jesus
Freak and an Admirer of Women--doesn't lust get in the way of chastity?
And what's an Otaku?

Thanks for writing, Robert Howe
