Your brings back memories of another clarinetist I played with in<BR>
1945. His name was Raymond Burke, who played around New Orleans. His<BR>
clarinet was held together with rubber bands, also. It was an old Albert<BR>
system. One of the keys had fallen off and he plugged the hole with chewing<BR>
gum!<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Ray was a funny, likeable fellow, and one of the great players, but<BR>
he's gone now. Only the older musicians around remember who he was. He was<BR>
one of a kind.<BR>

Yep...I am older and I remember well Raymond Burke. I only played with him once, at the Emporium of Jazz ( in St. Paul) with Art Hodes.
