 Re: Ab Piccolo (sopranino) clarinet

Two internet citations on the saying "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good." Anyone nominate Ambrose Bierce as the author of the pardoy?

First, from http://www.aswltd.com/breathpr.htm

This bit of colloquial English wisdom appears in several sixteenth century sources in a number of variations, although it may well be considerably earlier in origin; its two most famous citations, however, are in Shakespeare's Henry IV, Part II (Act IV, Scene 3, line 87) and again in Henry VI, Part III (Act II, Scene 5, line 55).

Second, from http://www.geocities.com/PicketFence/7608/sayI.htm

IT'S AN ILL WIND THAT BLOWS NO GOOD---Someone is likely to capitalize on any given unwelcome or disastrous situation; one person's misfortune may turn out to be another's good luck.---Old naval proverb used to explain one's good luck at the expense of someone's misfortune.---John Heywood (1546.) Proverbs. "An ill wind that bloweth no man to good."
