reeds all terrible
try another hopefully
should have played the flute

Reed troubles...

I'm unashamedly stealing an idea from Bass Blog.

 
working on my reeds
improvement hard to come by
nice tone is fleeting
 

"Last Chair"

I was nicknamed "last chair" in high school by a good friend because in band I was, well, last chair. For most of my life I've played clarinet in the last chair: in band I'd be the last person on 3rd clarinet, 2nd clarinet in the orchestra, 5th reed in a pit orchestra and so on.

That being said, I love music! Third chair, second chair, principal -- it doesn't matter to me any more. Music is music, no matter what part you play.
