What you do with an inatimate object to any degree of depth which extends
beyond the threashold of our 3-d existence has much to do with understading
the natural order of time, space, and matter as well as how removed an
object or a human being can be from the truth. The microcosmos is a mirror
of the universe we all MAY see in the seemingly hidden and certainly
unnoticed structure of every thing around us.

If you had a hint of this you would know Coyote Canyon the way I did before
your school was even built. You would have been invited. It is important to
be invited when those -->around<-- you are in their 70's 90's. You listen
with more than just ears.

...and see into all things in this universe is understanding what science
calls by so many complex names. Of course it is about what you do with it,
how you do it. But more about the depth of understanding.

There is much more criteria than the judges at a competition. The final
judge will be that your music has the ability to stay with you and carry
you off when you leave here. Just as you must know where the music comes
from you must know where the tree comes from and how it grows. This is the
diference of the sax voice and the clarinet voice... think about it.

Clarinet is very very special as all real woodinstruments are to the degree
of their natural comonants and makers.

Ever wonder about Stradivarius?
