Yes, I'm a Phil Bodner fan. But I'm prejudiced. He's my cousin (first cousin of my father's, to be exact). Phillie, as we called him, started on the sax, I believe, but while still a kid began doubling on clarinet. The first I remember of him was much later--in the fifties, at which point he learned to play flute and oboe in addition. A year after I started playing the clarinet about 50 years ago, Phillie picked out my first real instrument--a Buffet "Academy Model." If I remember correctly, he swore by Buffets. I don't have any recent information about what he has been playing since, but that was his choice at the time anyway.
