Unless the younger Listers watch re-runs, they probably have never heard of
"Murder, She Wrote". However, many of you older member/mystery story fans
undoubtedly remember the New Orleans Jazz episode where clarinetist/murder
victim holds his sax properly but for some stupid reason placed his right
hand on the upper section of the clarinet and it wasn't one of the novelty
"right hand on top" models that we have been referred to on the Web. It
wasn't his reed that was poisoned but I can't recall what the poison was at
the moment. There was something about the coffee????

Slightly off topic: I recall an episode of 77 Sunset Strip where the band
at the club takes a break. When they come back, the drummer decides to
play one tune on the clarinet. (I don't recall whether anyone moved to
drums.) He plays for a minute and then drops dead. It turns out that
someone put poison on the reed.

I'll bet I am not the only one on the list to remember this episode. After
that show, you couldn't borrow a reed in Jr High band without someone
making a remark about whether it had been poisoned.
