The bb- work is good, better than I could do when they handed me one of 
them when I was about 14, playing in the school band in the late '40's.  
I got the double B flat because no one else wanted it. Sort like the 
drill sargent, point at guys & saying I need 3 volunteers, you, you, and 
you.

But I never really got past the usual stuff they were teaching in the 
40's.  So I'm a bit like Howard Cosell, who claimed he had never played 
the game.  But even then I knew that even if I got to be the worlds 
best, I'd still be sitting in the back row.  :)
