'Reminds me of a conversation I once had with Don Carroll
(bass cl. San Francisco Symphony).

Don: "Neil, I think you ought to go to Northwestern for your
your master's degree."

Me: "But I'm not sure I want to study with Marcellus."

Don: "Why not?"

Me: "I've heard that his students are like clones. They
come out of his studio sounding exactly like him."

Don: <with a smirk on his face> "How terrible..."
