Fred, it's funny you should mention bass clarinet - I play a little
bass clarinet and when this topic line came up I immediately thought
"take the usual soprano vocal/clarinet repertoire, such as "Shepherd
on the rock," and take EVERYTHING down an octave..."

I've got a mental - picture is not the right word - mental recording?
right now of a tenor and a bass clarinet doing SOTR -- now people in
the office don't know why I'm laughing, and if I explain, it will seem
even more eccentric. dah DAH da da da da da...

I also have a mental picture of Dan having a fit, which is even funnier. :-=
