Thanks Mike, I will stick to coffee black or water :) Thanks! Monna

Thanks Josh, I played for a few years in Junior High School, then gave it up at that time. Now more that 30 years later, I took up piano playing for 6 years and loved it, but w/ this new job my husband and I are doing I am unable to drag my large piano w/ me. We work three weeks straight away from home every month, living w/ teens in group homes. We work in three different home one week in each and then go home for a week. So I decided last summer to pick up the clarinet I learned in school and start over again. I love it and wish I had done it years ago! Funny how you apreciate things when your older that as a kid you dismiss. :) Have a great day! Sincerely, Monna
