Laurie, the clarinetist, plays in the Seattle Symphony and all sorts of chamber and avant-garde stuff as well. She's top notch. She and Dan started playing eastern European and Middle Eastern songs together and improvising on them a while back. If she likes to play with him, that's all the recommendation you need. At this party, they expanded the repertoire to include a few numbers from the "Great American Songbook"--popular songs from the 1920s-40s. --Peter On Wed, Jan 6, 2016 at 5:33 AM, Jayanand Govindaraj <jayanand at gmail.com> wrote: > Peter, > Nice set. > > Douglas, Of course it can.
