Re: My "New" Bass Clarinet

Ha--you mean like keeping a loaded revolver behind the counter, just in case (he showed it to me once when I was in, and said "Anybody tries to pull any s___ with me, gets THIS") or in general being one cranky, colorful SOB? Or being the master repair guy that everybody went to when he had the shop on 46th St.? I brought stuff in for him to fix but never had much to do with him; bought a really lovely SBA tenor off him that, he said, had supposedly belonged to Gerry Niewood (it came with a "bill of sale" scribbled in pencil on a piece of notebook paper allegedly in Gerry's handwriting, but it could have been Saul's, who knows?). I don't know that there's anyone in NYC doing repairs with either his talent or his, shall we say, panache.
