It’s always been the butter. Do you feel better? 

Hi there, I finished editing this one faster than I thought I would, believe it or not. And if you don’t? Yes.

Bryan Canonigo joins me and talks about being a woodwind doubler, improvement vs. plateauing, finding motivation, the reasons we teach music, the sacrifices we make to be full time musicians, and a clarinet with butter on it. 

Also the internet said my episode file was too big, so I had to split it into two parts...
