Interests and Hobbies: Study of theology and philosophy, especially St. Thomas Aquinas, G.K. Chesterton. Study history of the American South, with concentration on the War for Southern Independence and the effects of the results of the war on America's present political, social and economic circumstances: the reducing of the Constitution to a feckless museum piece, the unchecked growth and power of a centralized authority desirous of usurping the sovereignty of the states, and, ipso facto, incrementally robbing the citizenry of their liberty, land and wealth for the Imperial glory and the gain of limited special interests, and other modern day social delights erroneously considered to be "progress."
Movies and Shows: Too many to mention

I think  as one's critical faculties and discrimination develops one becomes more critical of the quality of the reeds out of the box.
himrasmus101 (1 week ago)
Tom, how do you know if a reed is bad? because all reeds I play have always seemed ok, but I always hear of people saying, oh about 7 of the reeds in the box are good and stuff like that, what does this mean?
billyboy647 (3 weeks ago)
The system is inexpensive: $69.95 plus shipping. It really works and, with no advertising, the system sells about four or five times more units than all the other reed finishing systems combined. Check out my web site for more information. You can order by calling 888-258-7845 (AKUSTIK). Glad youre benefitting from the vids.

Tom, your tips are great, I am an advancing clarinetist and I think your tips can save a lot of money. Question: how much is your atg reed finisher? I want to purchase one.
