A Real Treat for New Years

Choices, choices....shall I watch Dick Clark's umpteenth New Years Rocking Eve, or avail myself of a rare opporunity to watch a pro clarinetist perform??

Sorry Dick. That was a no-brainer.

Now I certainly hope that this doesn't embarrass someone "close" to the this board, BUT.............

I had the privilege of hearing none other than GBK perform (via a tape)
both as an orchestral player and soloist. Let me tell ya.....it's the real deal:
A very tasteful Rhap. in Blue...just the right combination of improvizational exhuberance on top of solid classical foundation....and then the ever popular Weber concertino, done just like he described it in his postings about its performance, with one helluva quick tempo in VarII and the finale. Crisp clear sound and nice use of dynamics. Impressive. ...but what does a guy do with the flower presentation?
