Hi there!
A dixieland band I'm in was planning to go away for a trip to try
and make a little money busking. For those of you who don't know what
busking is, it is when you stand in the street with a hat or instrument
case in front of you and hope that people will drop spare change in. Sort
of like what you Americans would call begging. Sorry, just joking ;-)
Anyway to get back to the story. I live in the Southern hemisphere
(New Zealand) and it's winter over here right now. It's really cold right
at the moment (we've just had our first snow fall) and I was wondering how
dangerous it is to play a wooden clarinet in freezing weather.
Any replies would be most welcome!
