Remember - that's _us_, not _them_! Just discussing it isn't going to make it happen. Like I mentioned, I'm going to try & convince my son to have a more "open" recital than the norm - but it's up to him. For those of you who are brave (and perhaps even some list members who may be performing at next year's Clarinetfest) - how about giving it a try? It'll be hard going at first I'm sure, but there'll be a few "shills" in your audience I'm sure to help you out.

Back to work ...
