I don't doubt someone will correct me if I'm wrong - but isn't this also
the traditional material for bassoon and oboe reeds, maybe clarinet and sax
as well? Not that it would take that many of them - maybe no more even than
grow very respectably in northeast Kansas USDA z5a (but not the variegated

tiring of college internet stations and texasrebelradio or anything else
dot com, schedules an evening of Scarlatti, Tartini, Joan Jett, and other
