Mike,

everytime I see you name with the last name of Vaccaro, I think of the two
websites below.

They two different Italian Pastry makers, one in Baltimore, MD and one in
Silver Spring, MD which is 30 to 45 minutes below Baltimore and right on the
border for Washington DC.

I know this is not clarinet related, but it relates to a member of the list.
O:)! And beside, maybe someone might now order something from them, as both
make wonderful pastry's.

They are related by blood, but they had a falling out and are no longer
talking as they run their own pastry business. The one in Baltimore has
several shops including Little Italy in Baltimore.

Not sure if you knew about this, but I thought I would write about it.

Mike Marmer
