Nancy,

I seems to me that if they were for Bb clarinets, the keys signatures
would be D, G, and E minor. I am playing them with a friend, and
we have been using our Bb clarinets. But we both own C clarinets
also, so I was just curious whether we might rather play them on
our C's. I wonder if there is any way to find out for sure. I'll bet
someone knows.

I do hope to attend ClarinetFest in Atlanta and also in Vancouver
(Vancouver for sure, since I can drive up.)

And by the way, Rebecca sent me pictures of the baby this morning!

Sue
