 Re: An amateur sits in with the NY Philharmonic

I loved the article. He puts the reader right in his shoes. He captures Stanley Drucker's sardonic humor very well and his obsession with mouthpieces. I wonder if he's still using his wooden one or has moved on to hand-hewn obsidian?

And I chortled at the comment that the Bass Clarinetist had only four notes in the symphony! I guess the argument that violinists should get paid more because they play more notes doesn't seem so unreasonable....

The article was quite a coincidence because on Saturday night I decided to re-read a part of Pino's Clarinet book. Out fell an article that I had clipped by Dan Wakin about how he used to play duets on the streets of New York when he was a youth. As I re-read the article I wondered what he was doing with his clarinet playing and who he was. Then on Sunday lo and behold, there he is on the cover of the City section. Amazingly fresh after all these years.
