Subj: Re: [kl] Drucker retirement
Date: Sat, 12 Jan 2008 09:04:30 -0500

Considering so much of the Drucker thread is about Guitar Hero I though we
might get back on subject and remember that Drucker fought and won the
decision in a case against the IRS a while ago -- making it possible for
professional musicians to take deductions for in-home practice space (and there may have
been other things connected -- I don't know). So, he is not only a
marvelously talented clarinetist, but has incredible tenacity to have fought the IRS.
No wonder he can still do the job (and I'll bet retirement won't cause him
to put down the horn, either)!

If it hasn't been done already, the magazine should do a huge article on
him. How about dedicating the Fest to him?

Drucker can said to be truly "one with the horn."
