It's not the note-Clarinets are the real problem (sorry dad!)

This is brilliant.  Just passed it on to the clarinet player in one of the bands I play in - no reply yet!!!!
Another one I heard was about a farming programme broadcast early yesterday morning saying that they had discovered a red daffodil in a field and farmers had to keep their cattle away in case it was damaged!

I guess my older daughter was rather prescient when she decided to play the piccolo clarinets (A flat and E flat) in school.

Wow, Berklee did not have a sense of humor like that when I was there in the 80s. In fact, I and my friends did the recital that made them decide they needed rules about recitals. A bunch of fascists ran the place back then. Glad to see they've loosened up.

Sounds like an interesting story Edwin . . . .

Years ago a newspaper I worked for ran a spoof April Fools day story showing a retouched picture (pre-Photoshop) with an oil derrick in a field in the county I live in and claiming oil had been found. It was not so funny after a person trying to buy some property nearby had a land deal fall through as the potential seller thought his property might also have an oil deposit and decided not to sell it but find out first. They were threatened with a lawsuit.

Being a CAL grad, I can assure you that no place calling itself "Berklee" can be fascist!

hehehehe

Edwin

When did you attend Berklee?  A very good friend of mine  who was a trombonist and who I played with for a good number of years attended from 1973-1977.  Based on the conversations I had with him his experiences were similar to yours.

I had a cousin who went there for a couple of semesters during the late 70's. He dropped out pretty quickly as he wasn't expecting the serious business like environment of the school at that time and didn't do well with his more casual approach to life.
