Actually, useful advice if taken in metaphor.

The "duckie" is all things that distract one from advancing play: which is done with strict, slow, metronomic repetition of the classic clarinet study's etudes and exercises, not ligatures, mouthpiece caps, etc.

Lyric snippet:

"I learned a thing or two from years of playing in a band...It's hard to play a saxophone with something in your hand."

Hahaha! So true.
