Michael,

Thanks. That's helpful. When you say flutter-tonguing, is it to be a light flutter as a flautist
would do, or a quasi-growl as I have heard (and played) towards the end of the opening of Rhapsody
in Blue? If it is a light flute-like effect, I think I can safely leave the Carpenter. The other
three sound feasible.

Thanks again.

Ian
