Christmas Conundrums 2003

Question of the Day : New Year's Eve

Over the twelve days of Christmas 2003, our guest-quiz questions are set by Hans Teutiger from Stuttgart, an autograph-hunter with an unrivaled knowledge of Procol gigs down the years. Please read his account below, from which you will be easily able to work where and when he got the autograph he describes.

When, and where, did I receive my seventh Procol autograph?

7) More as a year passes before next Procol gig for Hans, I am luckily my ship is in Sweden on a bitter night and the band plays many sea-mariners songs as Rule Britannia, Whaling and A Salty Dog. Nice to hear Leo Kottke comes on the stage to sing together a song with Harum. Austere night, cold, but warm welcome for me back-stage, now the band knows of my strange hobby and they line up to make Autogramm, still I insist one only musician endorses each record-album and this time it is the great slogmeister who places his two initials and name right by his Topp Hat on the bands fine record from this year.
