Now, on this day two of the eternal renewal of CLAMSAA, privileges I am
having two more "Blast From the Past" Clamthems to be making the presentings
of to all of you CLAMSAAITES:
LET ME BLOW
(to the tune of "Let It Snow")
Oh, the concert I played was frightful,
It should have been delightful.
On the stage behind my stand,
I made clam, after clam, after clam.
It started with a no-speaky,
And that was somewhat freaky.
Then a Schpleah followed that,
Then Schpladat, Schpladatdat, Schpladatdat!
And by the time I played my solo,
My mind was going loco.
Schplooee-ee, Schplooee-ah, Schplooee-oh,
Clamming notes from above and below!
When I got to the finale,
I almost had a rally.
But my lip would not attack,
Only frack, after frack, after frack!
THE CLAMSAA SONG
(To the tune of "The Christmas Song")
Kopprasch spread upon my music stand,
Valve oil spilled upon the floor,
Nutcracker, brass quintet in my date book are planned,
But my lip feels like crap, any more.
I should have practiced when I had the chance,
But I just put it off ‘til now.
Endurance and tone I need time to enhance,
But I need another week, and how!
I should have played the Farkas every day,
Then now I’d have the chops to really play.
Some long tones would have really done the job,
To keep my lip from stiffening to a blob.
I must go to play Nutcracker twice,
It’s way too late for remedy,
The money is nice, but my lip is on ice,
HAPPY CLAMSAA, to me!
