this day I still have trouble finding it without headphones) in one
passage and perhaps a slightly labored chromatic passage somewhere else.
Feeling very rightous, I opened the CD cover and my whole outlook on
myself changed.....there was a picture of Tony on the back cover of the
booklet. He was playing a 7 key clarinet.

that's really a great story. I've only heard it played by Sabine Meyer, and
she cooks right through that. I don't know if it's humanly possible to
duplciate it, but it must be.
