"Ted Lewis could make the clarinet talk. What it said was, put me back in the case!"

"Everyone discovers their own way of destroying themselves, and some people choose the clarinet."

"Clarinets, like lawyers, have cases, mouthpieces, and they need a constant supply of hot air in order to function."

Yeah, one time there was this chart called "Message from Birdland". I had a solo, and I guess I had too much coffee, so I tried to put fifty notes in every measure. My buddy said "What was that, a message from Charlie Parker, or something?"

"Yeah, and what he said was "STOP PLAYING" ".

I always fancied a trumpet but couldn’t get a note out. I know quite a few trumpet players who seem to have similar difficulties but at least I didn’t make a noise.
