Santa Claus has the right idea - visit people only once a year.

I don't mind going back to daylight saving time. With inflation, the hour will be the only thing I've saved all year.

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

I only know two pieces; one is 'Clair de Lune' and the other one isn't.

Mendelssohn never wrote any Water Music. However, he wrote the Scotch Symphony, which is even better, or at least stronger.

That's why I've never thought of retiring because I do it all the time whether on the stage or off. I found that in a precarious situation, a smile is the shortest distance between people. When one needs to reach out for sympathy or a link with people, what better way is there?

If I have caused just one person to wipe away a tear of laughter, that's my reward.
