Arnie has indicated he is fine with his music being scanned and emailed.  If you'd like copies, please drop me an email and I will get them right off to you.  As for the other songs, there are copyright issues we need to respect.

The flyers are also out for this Summer's Nisswa Stamman!  You can go to the website for more information www.nisswastamman.org. I imagine soon Paul will want to know how many will be attending from our group so he can get name tags made.  The dates this year are June 7th and 8th.  Friday the 7th are the workshops and the concert.  Saturday the 8th is the parade and the performances.

See you all in a couple weeks!  Please spread the word about the blog being here for your reference!
