Some others who played clarinet: Dr. Michael DeBakey, famous cardiac surgeon
who developed the Roller Pump, later used as an essential part of the heart-
lung machine, part of heart bypass surgery. He was said to have taught himself
to play the clarinet which became of lifelong importance to him.
Dr. Michael Swango, not famous but "infamous" for having poisoned up to
60 patients during his medial career in the US and abroad but having pled quilty
to only 4 deaths, and who is now and forever in prison for his murders. He
was my clarinet student, before he studied to become a medical doctor, and
was a good player on his Buffet R13.
What a contrast between these two medical/clarinet people!
