By gar, he has it right! He wins a cigar. Recently I had a nightmare about
flubbing the gliss in R & B. I awoke in a sweat which prompted the following
infamous piece of doggerel:
If I should glissando before I wake,
A portamento I'd like to make.
If my keys don't lift so nice,
Its because my horn is full of mice.
A chromatic scale would sound awright,
But a portamento is outa sight.

If they portamento in Sacramento
Do they still glissando in East Orlando?
