Translation for "Qui a invit=E9 le clarinetiste =E9tranger? Est-ce que tu =
penses qu'il est chien anglais?"

"Who invited the foreign clarinetist? Do you think he's an English dog?"

But so as not to embarrass any of you (because I love all of you so much), =
please be aware that the two images are famous paintings into which I inser=
ted myself playing the clarinet (standing, of course). I far too often han=
d one of my "weekend clarinetist" business cards to someone who responds, a=
s in the case of receiving the card with the "Fifer" on it, "Who's the kid?=
" Then I'm not sure who is putting on whom.

Here's one of me comforting Madame Sisley whose husband recently disappeare=
d without a trace.

e. Still, I called out, "Aw, c'mon, I can't be THAT bad," but she kept run=
ning.
