Hey, I took ballet for two years, unfortunately it got me nowhere with the
girls. They already knew the reason I was there :P No, with calrinet it's
different, I love the instrument, and play it because of that, not for the
gender it's usually attached to, however sillily.
(Is that a word?)

Thanks you, I need all the money I can get. Clarinets are like pets, mine
just gobbled up over $70 last saturday for a small adjustment, replacement
of corks and pads, reeds, a ligature, and cork grease.
