we went to hear a young pianist give a solo performance at the local college. I was really impressed. She played for close to two hours and never looked at a piece of music. Now there was a young lady (on the wrong side of 50) that really knows her craft.
happy turkey day to each and every one of you.

Nice to know that there are others on the "wrong side of fifty" having a go.
I should like to thank everyone who was kind enough to give me their thoughts on my recent posting re: crossing the break. I have been trying out various suggestions and I am making some progress. I have decided that lots and lots of scale work is one answer. Also, a vast overall improvement occurred when I swapped my B45 mouthpiece for a 5RV. Thanks again.

Ya gotsta blow, laddie!
To paraphrase the late, great Anthony G..."BTSOOI"!
(Blow the s**t ouf of it!)
Some really tremendous clarinets have 'sticky' spots, those are the BEST notes, they like to stay in the horn!

Hey BG -
When you cross THAT break, you start to pick up speed.
I think it's because of all the stuff I can't find anymore...
it no longer slows me down.

Larry the chair didn't make any sounds,but her stool had knobs on the side. Maybe that kept her in tune.

Didn't someone explain that to you, Bob? Those knobs are for crowd management. They're known in the trade as RADESEL knobs and each has a very definite purpose. One dims the house lights, a signal for the audience to settle down. The other larger one is for when a crowd fails to comply. That's the "Remote AuDience Ejection SEat Lever". You don't even want to imagine on what happens when they're activated simultaneously! :|
ENJOY LIVE MUSIC!!!
