LOL. You're right about that. At least I won't have to stumble around for
a month, half bent over, holding a mini-pillow to keep my stomach from
(feeling like it's) falling out.

And by my comments, I don't mean any disrespect to the musician. This is
the only sample of his playing I've ever heard, and my problem is with the
sound of the instrument, which is a problem that I have with almost all
period instruments. I just personally don't like the sound most of them
produce. (This opinion may have been influenced by my teacher at
university wanting me to play the Mozart Concerto on a Mozart-period
clarinet. For me, a very unpleasant experience. <g>)
