Palers at Domus Felix (4)

Linda Clare's photographic record


Through all the rehearsals and performances that inscrutable child ogled us from the portrait on the wall

Peter Clare (the surname is specified because he is not Peter Christian, who joined
us with his guitar on one song) in the garden behind Domus Felix

Roland and Larry in conversation. Tito, Peter Christian, and Jens fixing the chairs ... the party is imminent.

Peter Christian, Jens, Marvin, Jeff and Bjørn ... setting out tables for 120 diners

Kari Romkes and her French horn, with husband Andrè. Kari was a late addition to the Palers' Band
and Roland wrote her a horn part for the middle of The Worm and the Tree. Later still we found out
that she was in Denmark only for the Saturday, and TWatT was scheduled only for the Sunday.

Nonetheless Kari and Peter Clare test the brass arrangement ... we recorded it on the Saturday morning, 19 August,
just to know how nice real brass sounded. On the Sunday evening, Peter played on his own. Still sounded good.

The guests are arriving, mostly having walked the short distance from Ledreborg: and Donna
(the BtP mascot) doles out the lapel tags, individually named in her elegant calligraphy

That's not someone's discarded halo, but the sun reflecting off the rim of a wheel: the Danes are great devotees of bicycling
