Hello Bill,
Thanx for the info, I s'pose JD & R Mc could well be considered as suspects. 
As regards the clarinet (simple system methinks), I've been thinking about 
lesser known 'others' like Slats Long and Joe Dixon but haven't tied 
anything in as yet. As with many web searches, I wandered way off base and 
landed on an interesting Ray Coniff site. Details being sent off-list.
Cheers,
