I have to play Bach's Ave Maria tomorrow at a wedding and have been running
into some difficulties. It looks ridiculously easy, basically only half,
quarter, and eighth notes ... but there isn't a major break anywhere in the
piece, so I don't have anywhere to "suck out" the saliva that accumulates
in the mouthpiece. So by the end, my tone is horrible, it sounds like I'm
blowing through an inch of water or something. Any suggestions ?

Jean, my guess is probably your mouth will be pretty dry from nervousness
at the performance. Don't worry about it.
