I got to hear McColl play the boxwood a couple of times when I was living on the west side of the state. Glorious tone.

Speaking of McColl, when I was 17 and playing with our community symphony, he came and performed the Copland clarinet concerto with us. It was my first time hearing a clarinet soloist live...a transformative experience for me, really. He talked to me about coming to UW, actually, but I was an idiot flunkie back then in everything except music at school, so there was just now way.

Anyway, it wasn't until later that I heard him play classical chamber stuff. He was so great at all of it. Love the quality of his tonguing in particular.
