Eric,
You seem to have an anger management issue going on here. Yes I did play with Buddy Rich when I was in my 20's, so that does make me older than you. I also played with a lot of other people, and did many things in the music business. What I have tried to get across here is how music and instruments change over time, and they tend to reflect the music of those times. A large bore clarinet for jazz playing is in a way similar to a balanced action Selmer saxophone. When the Mark VI came along it changed the sound for sax players, and the music changed. If you want that older sound of an earlier era you need a sax like a balanced action because it just fits. Same with a clarinet or flute. That is the topic we are talking about, and yes, restoring some of those great old instruments is sometimes worth it for the right people. Studio guys often have an R13 and a Selmer CT for different playing situations. They both have a place.
The music business has changed, and the official end of the big band era is 1946. Yeah, Buddy, Maynard, Kenton and many others reformed and carried on, but things still evolved. They are all gone now. Same thing for Dixieland bands, they were really hot in Milwaukee in the 60's, but faded out over time. The big name players we appreciate are gone or retired. Look at it this way, thank goodness disco is gone. You are still maintaining a tradition, you love it, and hopefully are having fun playing it. Having fun playing music and doing it as well as you can or even better than you think you can is what it is all about. I hope we can agree on that.
