OK, I've tried to translate the clarinet players reply, tried five
translation sites, two dictionaries, and none of them translate
"minchia"... which is the only word I couldn't figure out from the
context... If it isn't too obscene for the list could someone please
tell me that it means? And reply off the list if it is too obscene? Now
I am curious!
Thanks, Edward
