premise: I got a strange sort of corroboration from my good friend Rosy McHargue, who is now pushing eighty-seven years and has spent most of his life playing clarinet and sax with some of the best jazzbands'Benny Goodman, Red Nichols, Ted Weems, and a slew of others.
hypothesis: Rosy McHargue plays a variety of instruments, including the clarinet and sax.
