ClarinetFest often has a top-rank clarinetist who provides slapstick as
well.... Carbonare shot his pianist onstage after breaking his own
clarinet in half and slobbering on his shoes while trying to clear his
clarinet's holes of saliva; and last year Brunhilde, the Buxom Drag
Trombonist, destroyed the audience while the conductor and Calcara
insulted all of clarinet-dom.
