Subj: [kl] Penzel-Mueller Archives
Date: Sun, 27 Aug 2006 01:02:42 -0400

Does anyone on list know where I can find the archives for Penzel-
Mueller (that is, if they exist)? A search on Google as well as
woodwind.org returned 0 results. Does any one know if anyone has
custody of those archives, and how to contact the custodian?

I have just purchased a Penzel-Mueller Jean Aubert Series Clarinet
off eBay. I'm attempting to date this instrument, as well as
overhaul the horn (I spent several hours Friday Night (8/25/06)
getting the pads removed, as it looked like moths had a field day on
the pads.

As for myself, I'm returning to the list after an absence of several
years. After 20 years in I.T., and being unable to find sufficient
work for the last 2 years (no thanks to all the support and help desk
work being outsourced to India and SE Asia), and suffering from
massive bouts of bipolar episodes (and being diabetic doesn't help
with being bipolar), I've come full circle. I'm going back to my
first love: music. I've had several public school instrumental music
teachers begging me for years to teach. While I didn't abandon music
entirely (I'm better known as a lyric tenor in these parts, when I'm
not doing I.T. or delivering pizza, another profession that, lately,
for obvious reasons, is becoming more depressing), it's time to get
back "into the groove", so to speak. A former supervisor, when I was
still working as a junior network analyst for the U.S. Army--
Pentagon, said to me too many times, "You're obviously a fine
musician. Why don't you do something you love?", I've finally come to
that realization, after living in denial for the last 20 years, music
is where I belong.
