Unlike me, the Shreveport band called the Rock Popes are not taking advantage of the passing of Karol Wojtyla, revered as il Pape, despite their terrific tie-in. In fact, therockpopes.com has a warm commemoration and a commitment to observe the novem diales, the traditional 9 days of mourning. Their web site will be dark for the nonet, they say. Teaching the raucous rock audience a bit of Latin/Italian is not the usual fare, is it?
Yet children must be fed and the show must go on, as all popes (means "father," right?) know. So you can hear a performance, says their website forum, on Saturday at Sharpies.

Robert, you have to stop using these big words, I have to read all of your stuff 3-4 times to make sense of it all ;)

I'm just honored to be written about (and called "dude" by) a very well respected educator from my Alma Mater!
Thanks, Mr. Trudeau

Monsieur Roman, you are far too modest - but I appreciate your wit.
Tom, Delighted to know you're a CMHS alum. No wonder you're so adept at mixing the profane with the sacred. Looking forward to hearing the band or at least your recordings.
