This thread needs a theme song. I nominate "Mold, Mold," big band swing
played by the Nuclear Whales Saxophone Orchestra on their 1991 CD, "Thar They
Blow." (Whaleco Music, WM-102- CD.) The late Ann Merrell (the Whales'
wonderful baritone sax player until she died a year or so ago) wrote the
music. Whales sax players Kristen Strom and Art Springs croon Jack
Prelutsky's seductive lyrics in praise of, "Mold, mold, marvelous mold,
alluring to look at, enthralling to hold," and "slime, slime, savory slime,
luscious and succulent any old time."

If Ed goes to ClarinetInfest, you all can spot him right away, because he'll
be the one with the gooey green hair, the yellow-orange fuzzy tongue, the
purplish-blackish-greenish iridescent nose, the mottled pink and tan shelf
fungus over both ears and the sticky lavender-gray clarinet.

First Musician: Whereby hangs a tail, sir?
