Zeke just sent me this video that, I believe, he took with his phone. The video is of the Mariners in a Swiss restaurant singing the Mingulay Boat Song. Every person you see in this video, except the waitress, is a Mariner. If we sound a bit tired, it probably is because we were. We had spent a long day rehearsing and preparing for the show in Augusta Raurica for the following day. I assumed we would finish our dinners and turn in early so that we would be well rested for the next day’s show. Au contraire mon frair. It wasn’t long before our energy levels improved. Not long after, the local law enforcement arrived as a result of the nine noise complaints the received from the neighbors. That got us all fired up and, consequently, we decided to move to the Baggenstos for a few evening Warteks. By 3am I was dragging Mariners out of the Beggenstos. Recent experience told me that in Switzerland the hour that immediately follows 3am is 8am. Those Swiss are crafty when it comes to manipulating time.
