Don B,
You are indeed a brave soul. After two years of low reed books in Chicago, I said "never again". I was never in better shape hauling those behemoths around, but it was just too physically draining getting to the gig, setting all the hardware up, and making the switches. Anybody who does the Bari/Bass/Clar/Flute book should get sideman, doubler, cartage, and roadie pay just for the sweat you work up.
Wouldn't it be great if you could have a valet in the pit or in the dance band to carry your instruments, keep your reeds wet, hand you the right horn at the right time, turn your pages... "Nurse, oboe! Stat!"
Best,
Mark
