[Dixielandjazz] Those who play the clarinet

[John C Goodrich]

Hello, All - 

Those who have followed the music of P.D.Q. Bach over the years will
undoubtedly be aware that he labled his performers in direct opposition
to the norm.  Those who played the clarinet were termed "clarineters",
while those who sang were "singists".  "Clarineticist" also has its
charms, however, and I, as a practicing clarineter, would not object to
that label.
