Fat boy sounds like an excellent purchase on the order of a refund costwise.. What kind of music do you play on licorice stick? One of my alltime favorites is Clarinet Quintet by Mozart.

It may be just me, but "Fat Boy" sound like a horrible mush-up of Little Boy and Fat Man. Not the best connotation.

Apperantly there was a thin boy as well. Didn't know that. How do they name nukes today?

Why with some devices with old browsers this forum does not accept my username and password even though they are exactly the same which I have now while writing?

Maybe these devices aren't hand made?

But it is! Nokia E90 symbian communicator which I have been playing with around instead of N900. Have to say I like the keyboard layout but not how the keys feel and work. A bit smaller keyboard would be perfect. Trying to get the device as workable as possible. For now with Opera mini and updated certs I have TLS 1.2 working. Soon there will be telegram client. Youtube can't be streamed but hoping to find a workaround. Site iterino.com makes it possible to download vids but would like them not to be permanently stored on device and without need to manually delete them. Some kind of temp folder with set time to wipe stuff automatically could be ok. 32Gb sdcard and would support even bigger. Can't understand how to set the Frodo C64 emulator. Picodrive already installed as well as googlemaps. I have file to install Garmin and there openstreetmaps.

Wikipedia can be accessed and youtube but players do not wan't to stream https. Maybe with ginx this could be sorted out?

No. I'm saying why I can browse the forum with Opera with E90 but I can't login.

I'm mostly a classical clarinet fan, but I appreciate 20th-21st century wind band repertoire. Mozart's clarinet is a favorite of mine, too. Von Weber's quintet is also very nice, but less performed. And I loved my salad days in marching band playing that stuff, as well.

And I like jazz, but it's not my strength, since jazz programs around here focus on saxes, and only the clarinet as "doublers". Take that Benny Goodman, Sidney Bechet, Artie Shaw, Pete Fountain, I suppose . . .

It may be just me, but "Fat Boy" sound like a horrible mush-up of Little Boy and Fat Man. Not the best connotation.
I can definitely see where that comes from. But in North America, I think the most likely association with "Fat Boy" would be a mid-sized Harley-Davidson motorcycle. But the "Fat Boy" of my post is a big ol' Canadian clarinet barrel:



. . . seen here next to the original barrel supplied with the ancient French LeBlanc "Double L" clarinet from the early 1960s. I don't know its actual age, the internet serial number checkers don't report from my instrument's vintage. All I known is it was old enough when I got it, that the grenadilla wood it was made of was probably put up for aging in oil before WWII.

Happily, my daughter took up the clarinet in 5th grade. Unhappily, that year lead directly into the global pandemic. So her development in the instrument (and the rest of her age group) has been delayed by the global plague. As a clarinet playing parent, I've done my best, but it's not the same as "normal times".
