What can I say. The klarinet list has been a cornerstone of my music
"education."

Dan goes on:

<<<Since I once played in the band of a burlesque theater in Newark, NJ (and
fell in loved with Candy Barr, of blessed memory), I have had some modest
experience playing hootchie kootchie music, or, as Tommasini said,
"Va-Va-Voom Goes the Soprano.">>>

The plots of many an opera are at best R-rated.

Every generation thinks that they are the one that invented sex. Alas, it's
