Sure, Nat, I'd love to be added to your links. <BR/><BR/>Laura--only one to offer zucchini advice--I will give you some bread if I figure out how to make it. I've also been told zucchini chocolate cake is good? Sounds kind of disgusting to me, but heck, I have plenty of veggies, so I may as well try everything!Jillian Camwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05748587118628839433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15982322.post-35568341601511506902007-08-01T23:34:00.000-06:002007-08-01T23:34:00.000-06:00patty - i COMPLETELY agree. 2 lessons ago after my...patty - i COMPLETELY agree. <BR/>2 lessons ago after my teacher found out that I was going to be a music therapist and not an oboist, she said the best thing she ever said to me - "You know what? Screw the reed-making. JUst make sure you have a supply of good reeds, wherever they come from." <BR/><BR/>I think k.ge's reeds are pretty consistant, and they're machine made :) http://shop.kge-reeds.com/store/index.shop<BR/><BR/>I'll put you on my links, if you don't mind!nat*https://www.blogger.com/profile/02316867057250461979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15982322.post-53408554914200374602007-07-26T21:42:00.000-06:002007-07-26T21:42:00.000-06:00Um, zucchini bread.

If I can use someone else's reeds I will. If it means I do a bit of adjusting, that's fine. I just hate reed making. I don't see any problem with letting someone else -- and Cooper says he LIKES making them -- do it! <BR/><BR/>So I buy reeds. I continue (a bit) to make reeds as well. And I can live with that.<BR/><BR/>I think, in fact, that I'd like to just whittle when I'm in the mood (seldom) and if those reeds don't work for me I am sure my students would buy them. So I wouldn't lose as much $$ that way. <BR/><BR/>Because, as you say, we aren't made of money. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm 50. I tell everyone I use that as an excuse whenever I want. Didn't clean the house today? Well, I'm 50. Need chocolate. Yeah, I'm 50. Don't make many reeds? Heck, I'm 50! <BR/><BR/>You? Your are pregnant. That works too! After that you'll be a new mom. Perfect. Then you'll have a toddler. Well DUH! And it goes on and on. <BR/><BR/>Excuses. You want 'em? I got 'em! :-)Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16172401944836258683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15982322.post-12126172465402893402007-07-26T04:51:00.000-06:002007-07-26T04:51:00.000-06:00Glad it delivered.

I left them a bit long, a bit thick, a bit open for an accomplished reedmaker like yourself to easily chop, thin, and pinch as needed!Cooper Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00125283385196736608noreply@blogger.com
