hmmm, you need to hire someone to split the time with you ;-) hint,
hint... give away a free bridge key adjustment, or maybe even a free
spit-key cork, for, hmm, maybe per recital, or something that you
attend, for a person to "man" or "woman" your table? *G*

Walter, I have another, better suggestion: You could bring Mrs. G - and
have her take care of the booth during the master classes! (and, guys,
NO flirting with Mrs. G! Or Walter WON'T overhaul your clarinet, and he
WON'T make you any mouthpieces!)

Seriously, I'd give ANYTHING to hear the Verdehr trio again... And I've
GOT to hear Larry Combs on that basset clarinet before I die. (Which may
be sooner, rather than later, the way things are going around here...)

Did anyone have any recent recordings out? Were any live recordings
made at the Symposium?
*I will have to check Gary Van Cott's site, which I have bookmarked just
for this purpose! - between you & Gary, once I have all my debt paid
off, you guys will be getting about half my paycheck for a while! :D)
