  • Comment: The best day would be 15 August, the day of the annual vespers, but you will probably tell me that it is too late.

  • Date, article length, and hook length OK. Article well referenced. But I cannot find in the article that DE was "one of five"; the article says "one of the guests". And I guess that the fact that he was invited is in the offline ref 3. I know no German, but I cannot find his name in online Ref 4, unless it is disguised in some way to English readers, so I presume that this ref is to confirm another part of the hook. --Peter I.

  • You are right that the 10 singers needed to perform the 10-part piece (no choir, they sang it all) are not individually mentioned in the online ref, but in the printed program. Five re amarcord members, all five other names are in the amarcord article, but I think several red links or unlinked names would not help this one. What do you think? I took a photo of him when he sang the Mass in B minor with us but think it's a bit too "rehearsal" to be included here, - again: what do you think? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 15:40, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
  • So why not say in the hook what it says in the article (nothing to lose in that, is there?)? And if you confirm that the rest of the hook is confirmed in Ref 4 (which I'm sure it is) that would be fine for an AGF. --Peter I. Vardy (talk) 17:43, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Before you asked I changed the article to what the hook says ;) - Whatever you prefer, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 18:21, 1 July 2014 (UTC)
  • Is amarcord supposed to be lower case? EEng (talk) 21:44, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
yes, see their website, - I changed the article, should have done that sooner, thanks for the ping --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:01, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
