At last I've arrived! Lelia has waxed eloquent on a thread I almost
created. Unfortunately, my days as a reed mold advocate are behind me.
I've gone plastic...not cheesewhiz...rather, Legere. Gone is the smelly,
dusty, off-flavor Ed. At Clarinetfest I'll be the guy in a polyester
leisure suit with black, shiney Corfam shoes.

Seriously, Guy [pronounced "Ghee," Yanks] Legere tells me that none other
than Jim Campbell is concertising about Europe with Guy's fake reeds. Jim
pays for his reeds like everybody else. I guess us Royal Subjects just
don't do sleeze.
