Heres a sweet little Trio for Violin, Clarinet and Piano for your edification, something Ive been working on in my spare time (all time is spare at my age). Some of you may know of my aspiration to be a composer when I grow up. Danny has also caught the bug. Maybe he will do it. If he keeps up like he is, he will be well known as a serious composer. In fact, it was he who got me back into the racket. The whole piece comes in at 5:30. Sheet music available if youd like to program this on your next recital.       https://clyp.it/m5n32u2a
