I'll second that, he's one of the most respectful and talented people I've ever had the pleasure to work with or meet. Not only one of the greatest clarinetists ever but one of the finest musicians I've ever known. ( he taught me everything I know. ;-) He's what we call a real "Mensch". ESP eddiesclarinet.com

Ed,
I'm not up on my Yiddish but I'm assuming that is a good thing.....?
(of course I'm assuming "Mensch" is a Yiddish term but I may be way off on that one)

Yes, it is Yiddish and of course it's a good term. Loosely translated I believe it means a real man in all good ways. I don't actually speak any Yiddish but picked up a few common use terms like that. ESP

Precisely translated it simply means "a human being."
Its conotation, or implied meaning, and the far more important one--bearing in mind that there are many expressions in the tongue that not are meant to be take literally, but to draw implied meaning from, is one of sincere complement.
Such a person--independent of faith, if any, is often aware, caring, nice, humble but talented, and selfless, who if you deliberately bumped into, would turn around, apologize and ask if you were okay.

Thanks much "Arnold" . I hadn't chanced on the Morales/Backun YouTube series previously. These should be required viewing by anyone who aspires to clarinet study.......
