RE: "Folk" clarinet

There is a band called "Footloose" based in North Carolina which plays for contradances, and features a classical clarinettist (and music prof, I believe), named Dean Herrington. Bill Tomczak from Mass. is another clarinet player in several contradance bands. And there is a guy in "Swallowtail" who plays alto sax and bombard! Jay Ungar and Molly Mason have used clarinettists on their recordings, not just for klezmer-y and jazzy stuff, but also for hambos and other northern European things. All of these guys have classical music training.

I'll try to post some websites for these when I get a chance.

Steve
