Hi.

Does it ever get to be
blowy and windy

in your neighborhood?

Boy, the wind was just going
"Wshh!" around the corner

when I came by.

Glad you're here,

♪ 'Cause I've been
thinking of you ♪

♪ I've been thinking of you

♪ Mmm, bum, bum-bum,

Have any idea what might have
been in that little suitcase

I brought in?

Well, you're about to find out.

♪ Bum, bum-bum, bum, bum

Do you think it might be
something that long?

Or something that big?

Something round?

It's deceiving.

It's a clarinet.

Mm-hmm.

It's all in pieces.

Now, this is the bottom part.

Hello.

[ Deep voice ]
It's like a horn.

♪ Doo, doo-doo, doo, doo

[ Normal voice ] Well,
this really is a kind of a horn.

Now, let me see.
This part fits on next.

It's a blowing instrument...
musical instrument.

Makes music.

See it growing?

One piece, two piece,
three piece...

...four piece...

and top piece.

It's growing,
just like you're growing.

It's fun to grow, isn't it?

Here, now, this is a cover.
We'll take the cover off.

Now, I haven't played this
clarinet in a long, long time.

When I was about this big...

Oh, I guess
I was about that big.

...I used to go to Mr. Ringrose
at the 4th Ward School,

and Mr. Ringrose had

very early-morning classes
in clarinet.

And I used to go there,

and I hadn't practiced
very well.

And I would play something,
and Mr. Ringrose would say,

[ Deep voice ] "I don't think
you practiced too long",

[ Normal voice ]
And I hadn't. No.

Well, I still
can't play very well,

because I hadn't practiced
very long.

Let me see if I...

[ Chuckles ]

You have to get this part wet.

That's called the reed,

and it goes "Br-rr-rr-rr-rr!"
back and forth real fast.

Let me see, now.

[ Notes play ]

Please don't listen,
Mr. Ringrose.

[ Melody plays ]

Oh, that's not too bad.

Sometimes you squeak.
Mm-hmm.

It's not good to squeak
when you're playing. You go...

[ Clarinet squeaking
out of tune ]

And I remember one thing
very well.

You weren't supposed
to puff out your --

What's this called?
Your cheeks.

You weren't
supposed to puff them out.

You weren't supposed to go...
like that to play.

[ Note plays ]

That's not the good way
to play the clarinet.

Oh, let's see if Picture Picture
knows what this is.

Think it would?
Let's ask it.

It seems to know everything.

Picture Picture on the wall,

would you kindly show us all

the word for this instrument?

It knew.

"Clarinet".

Yes, sir.

You know what we could do?

We could very easily
take the bell off...

This part's called the bell.

... and look through and pretend
that this is a telescope

and see what's going on in the
Neighborhood of Make-Believe.

Okay, let's try.

Hmm. Do you see
Daniel's clock yet?

You're looking.
There it is.

And it's ticking away.

Who is that?

Going by the museum.

I think that's Mr. Paul.

[ Trolley dinging ]

It certainly looks like him,
Trolley.

♪♪

Trolley.

Trolley, is that
Louis Paul going --

[ Dinging ]

I thought so.
I'm going to call right away.

Louis Paul is one of
the outstanding clarinetists

of this country.

Let's just see if he's really
going into the castle.

Miss Paulificate?
[ Tinkling ]

Miss Paulificate,

is that Louis Paul
coming into the castle?

[ Tinkling ]

It is? Is he going to play
for King Friday?

[ Tinkling ]

Hey, could we come?

[ Tinkling ]

Oh, I'd really like
to listen to him.

I heard about him when I was
in Mr. Ringrose's class.

Uh...
[ Tinkling ]

Oh, alright.
We'll count to 13 and come.

Want to?
Yes, we're coming.

Count to 13
when the light flashes. Ready?



We'll get to see him --







and in we go -- 13.

♪ King Friday's
very anxious to see you ♪

♪ Oh, what's that
in your case? ♪

This is my clarinet,
Edgar.

♪ Oh, good

♪ May I see it?

♪ Oh! It's broken

No, it isn't broken.

It just comes in many
different pieces, you see?

♪ Oh
We put it together
this way.

♪ Oh, I see

are there? ♪

Well, altogether,
we have 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Yes,
these are the keys.

And when
we push the keys down,

the notes change
on the clarinet.

♪ Will you kindly
play him a fanfare? ♪

Certainly.

[ Clarinet plays fanfare ]

That's the kind of fanfare
I like.

Mr. Paul, I presume?

Yes.

I'm glad
to meet you.

That will do, Edgar.

♪ Thank you, Your Highness,
thank you ♪

The clarinet.

An old instrument,
is it not?

Yes, quite old, King.

One that has been played
for many years.

Yes.

Have you played the instrument
yourself very long?

Since I was
quite small, yes.

Oh, you started
as a boy, did you?

Mm-hmm.

What is one of your favorite
melodies on the clarinet?

Would you like to hear
one by Beethoven?

Oh, yes.
I like that one.

[ Melody plays ]

Oh, that's beautiful!

Could you play me
the first few notes

of that one again
so I can remember it?

[ Melody plays ]

Oh, yes.
Uh, does it have words?

No, Beethoven didn't
write words for that.
I see.

Well, I know a song
that does have words.

Perhaps you know.

It's a little ditty

called "Propel, Propel,
Propel Your Craft".

Well, I don't know that one,
but I do know a song

called "Row, Row,
Row Your Boat".

Oh, yes, well,
if you play that,

I could, uh, sing my words,
I think, to it.

I'd like to hear what
it sounds like first, anyway.

[ "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"
plays ]

Yes, that's the one.

[ Music continues ]

Oh, good. Now I'll sing my words
if you'll play again.

Oh, Mr. Paul.

Were you able
to play that well

when you first got
your first clarinet?

Oh, no.
It came much later.

Oh, I see. You practiced
and practiced, did you?

Quite a bit, yes.

Did you have
someone who helped you?

I had a teacher.
I had many teachers, yes.

I see. And then
they would say to you --

Did they call you
"Lou" or "Louis"?
"Lou", usually.

"Lou". Did they say,

"Lou, now, this is
a better way of doing it",

and then that helped you,
did it?

Exactly.
That's how they did it.

Oh, isn't teaching
wonderful?

'Cause we learn
so much from others.

Uh, would you come
to my "T" room, Mr. Paul,

where we can discuss
the clarinet further?

Fine.
I'd like to, King.

Yes, I have an appointment
a little later,

but I think we'll have time
for tea right now.

The "T" room is just
down the hall from the "S" room,

across from
room number 20.

So if you go through that door,
I shall meet you there.

Fine, thank you.

Do you like cream and sugar
or lemon?

Just lemon, please.
Lemon.

I'll have it waiting
for you, Mr. Paul.

to the "T" room.

in my elderly years.

Yeah.
