Some friends of mine tried that, and they had no trouble at all. The were
in 3 cars, there were 10 of them, and there was no hassle. What in the
world are you talking about? Oh, but perhaps it isn't an equivalent story
since they weren't traveling with clarinets.... only tubas, trombones,
euphoinums, trumpets, and weed.
Border guards are our friends.... all they care about is fruit. Now
Mexico.. that's another story... and I was waiting for one of you to bring
up Mexican clarinets.. but I suppose it's up to me. DO THEY ALL NOT SMELL
LIKE CHEAP BOOZE!? Maybe it's just this one guy I met once... yikes! I
mean, I'm not a racist; I just have a very sensitive nose. I wish my ears
were that sensitive, then I'd be a super de duper clarinet manooper!
Love ya all,
Peace,
Hemi
