[TPIN] Bach Picc

[Daniel,John]

Wilmer,
anything you guys played couldn't be all that bad, 
but....how many choices for a pic were there before 1960?
I remember getting a tour of the Bach factory in the 70's 
and seeing a rack of 10 pics "ready to be shipped".  In 
the late 80's a I got another tour and that same rack was 
there with the same 10 pics, never shipped.

Lawrence has an old 3 valve Cousnone that is ok in Bb.  I 
make my kids play it every now and then just to appreciate 
what they have.

I listened to the Strawberry solo from the Porgy and Bess 
Suite with Gil Johnson doing the honors 3 times already 
today, wow!
John
