@Doctor-Phibes LOL, my first teacher was a renowned accordion player in the 50’s... Well, renowned regionally - Western PA, Maryland, Eastern Ohio... Glad I escaped that fate...
One summer I was hired to play in the for a small local community production of Brigadoon. It was put on in an outdoor amphitheater and the director didn’t want the instruments warming up and tuning in front of the audience, so we had a green room to prepare then had to walk out as a group with our instruments. I had a Bari strapped across my back, tenor tucked under one arm, alto in the other, clarinet in one hand and bass clarinet in the other. I was told by the percussionist that I looked like a highlander going off to war. Of course, that bastard just had a handful of mallets and brushes...
