Last Wednesday, May 19th, Tomas Ramos from the US Navy Band introduced 2G to the clarinet.
While 2G loved the music — including a little 12 bar blues from a clarinet + guitar ensemble — we think they might have enjoyed the contents of Mr. Tomas’s backpack even more.
“Is that toothpaste?”
“Yes it is.”
“Why do you have that?”
“Well, if I eat pizza right before I have to play, I don’t want to be spitting pepperoni into my expensive instrument!”
“EEEEEWWWWW!!!”
“What’s that?”
At Christmas, children sometimes prefer the box a present came in over the present itself!
• “Hi. I’m Tomas. I am double vaccinated, play clarinet in the US Navy band, and get tested for COVID every other day!”
