Green Energy
Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast,
To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak.
----William Congreve
This passion for music of mine, it comes down through generations on both sides. Maternal grandfather played clarinet, saxaphone, piano, harmonica, drums and vibraphone. Paternal grandfather played organ and piano. My dad played piano. & was ALWAYS whistling some tune or another. Mom the same sans whistling. I play clarinet, saxaphone, harmonica, guitar and bass, a bit of violin, piano and flute. And among my 3 daughters we have 1 flute player, 1 piccolo, 2 keyboards, 1 saxaphone, 1 clarinet, 2 violins. This family is serious about our music. For fun. None have ever tried to make much of a living from it.
My poor lovely wife can't carry a tune in a paper sack., though she dearly wishes she could.
I learned music when I learned to play the clarinet. And it's always been the one I played the best. Learned to play it because it was what my maternal grandfather first played as well, growing up in the 20's & 30's. Then he was off to Europe in the early 40's in he service of Uncle Sam and my grandmom tells me he never played it again after he came home.
But I still have his very old marching band model. I believe it's a Conn or Selmer though can't say for sure without pulling it out.
One day I will. Spend the money for new pads and springs. And make it sing again.
