Sounding Like Marcellus

Hi all! The other day while playing through a solo piece in rehearsal I was told that I sounded just like Marcellus. Due to so many oppinions on "sound," I asked if this was good or bad. The individual who made the comment said that if one were to close their eyes while I was playing, they would say that Mr. Marcellus was 'back in town' and left it at that.

Now, in an effort to learn a little more than I know about Robert Marcellus, I've learned that due to his bout with Diabetes it was as though he had to rediscover his embouchure everytime he played. I couldn't imagine!

All of you 'seasoned' clarinetists out there possibly having know Mr. Marcellus far better than I would, how would you take this comment? I'm still not sure if this was a compliment or not. (I took it that way, I think.) : )
