Subject: Anniversary

Folks,

Today's other one and a half gold star goes to our Arend Victorie for power, 
performance and patience.

His sound file now accompanies his translation into the Drenthe Low Saxon 
dialect of Hoogeveen:

Nice reading and "acting" job!  Krigst 'n groten dank un 'n barg 
kumpelmenten, beste Arend!

Now, folks, don't let perfomances of people like Arend, Hannelore Hinze 
(Mecklenburg Low Saxon) and Dan Prohaska (Cornish, still to come) intimidate 
you!  They are professional actors, entertainers and other manner of 
raggle-taggle traveling folk with whom simple foot soldiers like us cannot 
compete.  Never you mind that!

Oh, and I should mention that we have our own male equivalent of 
Treckfiedel-Hanne: Franz Firla, who has been spotted with his accordeon in 
and around Mülheim.  The picture that goes with his intro is a dead 
give-away, even though you can only see the shoulder straps of his 
_Treckfiedel_.  And how about that stylish baret?

Then there's Dave Singleton with his Northumbrian pipes.  (I'd love to 
listen to those.)

Well, and last but never ever least, there's Our Lady of the Rafters with 
her mandolin (with which she makes me jealous) looking nice and quite the 
part of Mirabel, the minstreling spinster of Minster:

Why, that's enough for a band right there!  I'm sure there's more.

Keep 'em comin', those Anniversary goodies!
