What are these 'Squidworth impersonations'? I'm obviously missing some
important part of my cultural heritage. It seems to be some sort of cartoon
character...?

I've been going to a free improv workshop in London the last couple of
weeks, and, although this form of playing is not entirely new to me, I find
that the struggle to discover unusual sounds that I can make with the
clarinet forces me to try all manner of what I am guessing may be
'Squidworth impersonations'. Last week, incidentally, there were 3
clarinettists out of 10 musicians and at one point we played as a trio of
Squidworths.

The Cartoon "Spongebob Squarepants" there is a character Squidward (that's
how it's spelled) who plays the Clarinet. His clarinet-playing has been
mistaken for the noise made by a dying animal, causing two veterinarians to
visit, and in one episode Spongebob once used Squidward's clarinet to unclog
his toilet.........

In the Spongebob Film (about 2 years ago it came out in theaters) one of the
Pirates in it (as they used some live characters combined with the Cartoons)
was one of the Music Artists that I represented on the old mp3.com website.
