I'd say go ask Paul Meyer. He has this amazing cd of 20th century works
and on the cover he's in a swimming pool, fully clothed in a tuxedo,
posing like he's playing underwater! But I don't exactly regard his
handsome Gallic self as being "squiddy." ;)

BTW, Glad to be back! So much has happened since I was last on the list,
if any of you remember me. In my scholastic/musical life, I graduated
with my bachelor's degrees in clarinet performance and
theory/composition earlier this month. My senior project for the theory
degree was quite interesting: I taught two freshman theory classes for
three weeks! Boy, am I glad that's OVER. This fall I'll begin my
master's degree in performance at Northwestern, and I'm really excited
to do it but of course am a little scared of the big changes ahead (only
natural, I supose).

It's good to see all the hilarity of the list again! :D
