Late Arrivals at the Musicians' Ball

[Will the Sec]

Dear all,

A friend of DP and me died yesterday, and in memory of him, I propose we play a game of "Late Arrivals at the Musicians' Ball".

Jon Smith was a big fan of "Just a Minute" and "I'm Sorry I Haven't a Clue", and was a master of this game.



So, I'll start you off with...



"Ladies and Gentlemen, would you please welcome...."


Mr and Mrs Fonium, and their brass band addicted son, Hugh.

Next!






Rest in Peace, Jon. Whenever I hear the Floral Dance I'll think of you.
