 Re: why do you play the clarinet??

It's not much of a story, but since you asked.....
First the How: When I started high school (in 1959) my older sister was in the school band, which had cool uniforms, so I joined too. There was not much choice of instruments so the band director assigned me to clarinet. It was a one-piece metal instrument and the C#/G# was broken off (I didn't notice for quite a while) but I had fun with it. Near the end of the school year my parents bought me a new plastic student clarinet. The band director was a professional clarinet player and listening to him play was very inspiring.
The following year, we moved to another town where the school band director also happened to be a professional clarinet and sax player. More inspiration followed, as he introduced me to the sax and invited me to play in his professional dance band.
The Why: I think the tone is wonderful and I never get tired of listening to it, especially Artie Shaw's recordings. The great range is nice too.
