Dr. Finbar Inspects an Aqueduct 


Good afternoon,

This week, we tell you what went on last week and what will be going on 
this week.

LAST WEEK

Last week's maintenance work on our eyes, ears, mouths and noses was an 
unqualified success. All foreign objects have been removed.

THIS WEEK

Spring is here, love is in the air and fawns are frolicking in the 
woodlands.

And there's no more appropriate way to celebrate these facts than to 
come and see us play at the Ninth Ward (city, corner of Flinders Lane 
and Elizabeth Streets) on Tuesday evening. Acts start at 8.15.

THE FINBAR COMPETITION

We would like to reward those of you who have read this far by giving 
you a singular opportunity to win something great. Here is the 
beginning of a sentence:

"The Dr. Finbar Trio will win an ARIA award because..."

We want you to complete this sentence (in no more than 5,000 words). 
In return, we have some truly wonderful prizes for you.

1st Prize: Two guitar picks used by Sam and Neil. Only a very small 
quantity of guitar picks currently in existence have this remarkable 
property. Someone has to own these picks, and yes, it could be you.

2nd Prize: Your choice of broken strings from our extensive collection.

3rd Prize: Removal from this list.

(OK, we're just joking here. There's no third prize. Removal from 
this list is impossible; you'll just have to get a new email account.)

Get your entries in soon. I'm afraid that we just can't process any 
entries that arrive after we've won an ARIA award. Note that entries 
resembling the following example will not be considered:

"The Dr. Finbar Trio will win an ARIA award because there will come a 
time when there are no other living musicians."

PETE CONTINUES TO MOVE HOUSE

This man will never live out of a caravan!


Have a lovely week,

The Dr. Finbar Trio.
