Music - 7 December 2006

I've just bought two boxes of reeds via eBay and I've been playing with one of the new reeds for two days, but I'm finding it very difficult. The new reeds are the correct bB ones of my normal grade (one and a half) but the new reed feels much stiffer than my old ones. It definitely needs more lip pressure and harder blowing.

I know from experience that changing to a new reed can sometimes be a bit difficult and that it can take some getting used to. However the new one is more difficult than any I’ve found in the past. Perhaps it's also aggravated by changing brands. I played with Rico Royals before, but the new ones are Ri Yin Jing Yan China.

Can anyone give me any advice, please? Should I just persevere with the new reeds, or are there perhaps some "trade" secrets that I don't know about for breaking them in?. Soaking them in water or scraping them or whatever? I've been learning the clarinet for a few years, but I’m not an experienced player. I don't have a teacher.

I am a huge fan of the Eagles. I just got done watching Farewell Tour 1. They have redone and perform "Take it to the limit." Does anybody know what former member orginally was the lead voclist on that song? If anybody has not heard that entire concert, you need to, it is awesome.

The chorus goes "If you don't want to love me then I'll find somebody else that will, find another kind of thrilll, find another way to fill this lonliness," I want to know who sings it.

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

Chorus:
It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

Chorus

(Instrumental break)

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa, I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had
