Dan,

Audrey makes a very good point. I guess that "dirty" is a word that, for
you, has some kind of meaning when describing clarinet tone. Doesn't really
do anything to help me understand anything about Ed Hall's sound. Now if you
were to use the word "dark"......:-)

worst--------best
characteristic........uncharacteristic
ugliest........most beautiful
dirtiest.........cleanest???
pleasant.....unpleasant
*(dark.......bright) (the one relativity you argue that you don't
understand)

You've join in with the crowd. Good for you.

Forest
