You MAY find yourself remembering this important message from ORKESTRA DEL SOL...

Ladies and Gentlemen,

*** Please read this in a silly accent***

The summer months are passing like the evening breeze through BAD TIM BONES musty locks. As MARCO removes the last of the sea water-soaked BUNS out of Sousie and CAPITANO PLATANO polishes his epithets, SINCERO MINIMO'S libido shines as a beacon of pent-up non-fulfillment. LORENZO looks at it and smiles. Yes, dear followers, THIS is a PREAMBLE. You might be feeling SLEEPY. That's normal. Now we will tell you something VERY IMPORTANT.

Loyal fans, you're FEELING GOOD. You are a GOOD PERSON. We, ORKESTRA DEL SOL, your favorite minstrels of melody, are here to tell you that the LAST FEW PRECIOUS SHOWS of the season are almost upon you and it's time to BOOK A TICKET. You haven't yet seen Orkestra Del Sol this year, and you ABSOLUTELY MUST, for reasons that will become apparent ONLY IF YOU DO IT. They are your favourite heralds of harmony, after all. LUCKY FOR YOU these shows will be performed near you or near your friends. One of them may be even CLOSER than you THINK. Look down the list, follow the links and BOOK YOUR TICKETS. It's meant to be easy because YOU WANT TO DO IT. And hypnosis works, by the way.

Click your fingers to bring yourself out of it all. Yes, it was THAT QUICK. Well done.

See you soon,

Orkestra del Sol
