Jane Feline definitely wants me to get a groomer-fish. She says it sounds delicious!

But seriously ... I got a good lesson in cleanliness (Godliness, not so much ...) from my grammar school band director, who used to do mouthpiece checks now and then and throw a big scene over the ickiest examples. I don't even want to think about the stuff Mr. Curatillo pulled out of bassoon bocals. Eeeeew! Still, I don't try to sterilize clarinets or anything else in my house. It's a hopeless endeavor and anyhow, I expect my immune system to quit attacking my knees and do its damn job.
