W-O-W .... forget about all this OTHER stuff.

Where can any of us READ about Competitions involing some of the GREAT names
mentioned. Wright, Combs, & Shifrin in a competition. Owning CD's by all of
them .. its UN-imaginable. Are there other such UN-wordly stuff in the
annals of modern Clarinet history? .... puts shivers down the back of any
Clarinet lover!
