Not only do I have a C clarinet because of Dan, I have Dan's C clarinet from when he sold his instruments some 12-13 years back! With some minimally invasive work (thanks Clark and Walter!), it is a fine instrument, and it dates back to 1899! Dan cared for it well, and I endeavor to do the same.

Dan, thanks for all the food for thought (non-pizza), and the leads to important books and articles that have changed the way I think about playing music. Thanks too for the tour of San Francisco all those many years ago and a fine Japanese lunch!

In summation:

1.) don't let your clarinets blow out!
2.) keep striving for that nice dark sound, and most of all,
3.) DON'T COUNTERFEIT ANY MORE MOZART!! ;-0

Best wishes!

David
