Carpinus caroliniana  or American Hornbeam
--------------------------------------------------Black ironwood (like African Blackwood) is not a good choice for a modern bassoon body. While its extreme density makes it ideal for oboes and clarinets, it is far too heavy and reflective acoustically for a bassoon. -------------Ironwood is best suited for acoustic and electric guitars, specifically for dense, high-wear components like fretboards, bridges, and tuning pegs-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Acer saccharum or Sugar Maple------Acer nigrum or black Maple----------Acer rubrum or red maple-----Acer heldreichii or Bosnain Mountain Maple-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Keep my Reed Moist............................................................................!

your stories

The voice of your gaze is both unfamiliar and familiar, telling stories. How can I tell you, Queen, the mischief that troubles you increases? Your eyes twinkle, there are words in them. Your tongue is silken, you captivate everyone. You are like a palanquin in my heart, like a rangoli in my hand. Your words are so innocent and childish. How can anyone remain thirsty in their youth without you? You are the moon of the sky, the sky in their youth. Why do you tease me? Listen, my friend, the depths. Don't become carefree, a lonely clarinets

Premium Member Beating around the bush 'til I finally get to the point

      flamingoes on one foot balance
        talent like monkeys on bongos

      playin' clarinets are baboons
         raccoons a-hootin’ and a-swayin'

       lions on slide-trombones
          headphones catch them cryin’

       giraffes a-bangin' chimes
          Times of L.A. laid off its staff


Premium Member Carousel Ride

the clock strikes dusk 
the sun fades away
a thousand golden lights blinks 
to set the scene on fire

crowds carouse
for the merry-go-round
that bright crown of the carnival night

under that picturesque parasol
children clamber up the golden saddles
atop alabaster rides 
galloping through infinity

then drums snare with cymbals 
while clarinets and woodwinds shriek
in jubilant symphony

laughter jingle 
as the circle twirls
and the colourful world dissolve 
to a colourless blur

Premium Member In Defense of Saxophones in Rock

I've got the lecture notes ready
I've got the examples 

Just blow what I'm telling you to blow
I am responsible for the resurgence of the sales of saxophones 

I unlock the doors of my car
By raising my right palm

You saw the crescent
I saw sod all 

You need a guitar player
Bass and the whole caboodle

But don't stop there
Get yourself some 

Man clarinets
And ear trumpets

In fact
Sack the band and 

Just have a sax on stage
And horn away

Nostril reeds and
Ostentatious bellowing 

I'll be your mouthpiece
I'll pretend to be from L.A.

Cringetown bottom burp

The Fourth Grade Concert

The fourth grade band was playing
But my eyes were there alone
Not for flutes or clarinets or drums,
Just Henry on trombone.

All the music was familiar
From the practicing he’d done,
So I knew just what was coming 
Once the concert had begun.

He looked confident and happy
Sitting up there on the stage 
As I realized, in his childhood,
He has turned another page.

What a thrill to watch him growing
And I know if I’m around,
That wherever music takes him,
That’s the place where I’ll be found.


Don'T Lie To Poets

You can’t lie
To a sweet lyre bird,
You can’t lie
At a small primrose,


Nor to a young Clarisse,
No one will lie,
Or a lying cat,
You can’t lie to me,

You can’t lie to me,
To a white rose,
You can’t lie
To a big yellow elephant,

Men lie too often,
We have to protect ourselves from it,
Flowers, cats, elephants
Understand this well.

We don’t lie to primroses,
We don’t lie to cypresses,
You don’t lie to vipers
Let’s hear what they tell us,

Don’t lie to poets,
On violins, on clarinets,
Don’t lie to daffodils,
Don’t lie to lovers,
Tomorrow they’ll thank us.

Guesser

ibanez, ibanez, ibanez to make her dance
french horns to tones of a bassey groove
the bassoons move the volumed effords
coupled with the flutes: the clarinets often are envious
we rather not fuss
we are smart enough to compromise
cornets and trumets the sounds of muted streams
you know what I mean, ya'll know what I mean
smooth groovey sounds, make us wanna move our thangs
aint knowthing wrong with whats
going on
I like it when the bassey grooves
are coupled with the strings.
Ibanez to make her dance
got me in a mood
sweet simple sounds
fesh like showered perfumes
aint no way we messing up on
this groovey tune
ibanez to make her dance
played softly in the tune
grainger Sterling Squeir Phatt groovey tunes.

Band

In band you make music not noise
Sometimes you have to be quite poise
The clarinets may squeak 
which will make others freak 
but in band you make music not noise

IN THE NOTE AREA WAS A QUOTE
IT SAID
 A HUSBAND MIGHT SIT AND HEAR THE WORDS OF A SINGLE MAN
AND IN HIS WORDS MIGHT SPEAK THRU A CONCERN
OF HIS OWN REFLECTION.
BUT HE ONLY KNOW'S THE SUCCESS OF BEING ACCEPTED IN
PROPOSAL: HE LACKS THE ABILITY TO SPEAK FROM DISPAIR
MIGHT SHE SAY NO, HIS WORDS MEAN KNOWTHING.
IF SHE SAY'S YES HIS WORDS ARE PROVERB AND WORTHY OF SPPEAKING OF.
WHICH LACKS CONCERN IS THE POSITION OF BEING
RIGHT
THAT HE THAT ASK MIGHT BE CONSIDERED WRONG
IF SHE HAS ANOTHER.

Premium Member My Taste In Music

Clarinets, bassoons, oboes, ugh.
Flutes, oh, yes, Native American flute music please.
Violas. Don’t be prissy!
Cellos. Ha. Ha. Who wants to carry one to school?
First and second violins. Too stringy. Twangy. Hurt my ears.
Trombones and tubas. Oh, yes, please.
Now for my all- time favorites besides the guitar.
Drums
Cymbals.
Bam.
Crash.
Boom
Bam
Give me percussion or do not give me any music at all.

Mountain of sound

With the delicacy of a mother

Enveloping them 
With the evolving mood
Ominous

Clapping booms
In my ears 
Stamping of feet
Deafening 
Yet craved
Yet beloved
Baton rises

Scarlet Breezes By John Lars Zwerenz

SCARLET BREEZES

Scarlet breezes swirl through the square, 
Beckoning us to come
In bright, elysian fare.
A cello and a drum, 
Clarinets and trumpets
Arise and stir and glitter in the fountain, 
Around your sable ringlets, 
In the cloister on the mountain.

There are diamond drops of rain
In your long and raven, perfumed mane.
Let us wander to the amorous refrain
Of violins by the ivory colonnade. 
And there in the somnolent, redolent shade
I shall take your tender, fair, white hands, 
Where only rapturous love commands, 
As we rove among the blooms, 
In the garden by the ocean, 
Reveling in deep emotion
Beneath our gilded palace, 
And its grand, palatial rooms.

And I shall kiss your lovely face, 
In a state of imperial, gracious grace, 
To the chime of harps and wedding strains
Which will emanate from daisies, dahlias and the breeze, 
From the chapels by the rustic lanes, 
Beneath the golden linden trees. 

JOHN LARS ZWERENZ
