Here we are in early Spring-and rain is something we haven't had in my neck of the woods for many months! Not allowed to wash cars or water lawns. I expect mandatory "shower with a friend" will come in next. Damn shame all my friends are brickies labourers! Ah well- at my age I wouldn't notice if it was Kylie Minogue! Who am I kidding!! Enough of fantasies- to business!
Our procession- Sept 12th- (hence the panic), was thrust onto us by another local band who are out of town on that date! The crappy arrgts came from them- and the bloke who organised it last time has left the band! Ah, well! Do our best! Fortunately the procession is round a car park- with us sitting in the middle! - that's the way the Maltese marchers want it! Suits me! Thanks for thoughts and encouragement! Cheers K Keith Helgesen.

Very Catholic – and apart from a couple of things, one called Innu Malti- which I believe is the Maltese Anthem, and another called Innu Populari – a stately marziale thing, I have no idea of suitable music! (What does Innu mean?) Hello Keith, I don't expect this will help much, but a couple of years ago my band did a similar procession for an Italian community here in UK. We gave them quite a wide choice of music and of all things they picked the march "Death or Glory" by R B Hall, which we repeated over and over again. They carried a large heavy statue of Our Lady on their shoulders all the way, and had to keep stopping for a break, so we had to mark time until they recovered! In typical English style it rained the whole afternoon and the statue was covered with a polythene sheet. Hope it goes well for you Peter _______________________________________________ Finale mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.shsu.edu/mailman/listinfo/finale --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
