Re: Why did you choose to play Clarinet?

I was 12 years old and heard 2 rock and roll songs that featured the tenor sax. One was Tequila by the Champs and the other was Yakety Yak by the Coasters and I knew that was the instrument for me. So I asked my Father to find me a teacher and buy me an instrument. The teacher he found convinced my Father that in order for me to learn the sax properly it would be easier to learn the clarinet first. Well try to play those sax rock and roll songs on a clarinet. It just did not work for me. By the time that my Father and teacher realized that clarinet was not for me it was to late. My Father finally bought me a Tenor sax but by then I was ruined. Hence 40 years later I bought a clarinet and found that I could still play and have enjoyed it ever since.
