Thanks Jill for the amusing story, since the gentleman who is going to do
the narration is the Band's President and I will see him Monday, I am going
to print this and give him a copy of it just for laughs...

The last time we performed Lincoln Portrait in Memphis, the narrator was a
popular local TV weatherman with a wonderful resonant voice and great
dramatic timing. In rehearsal however, he made the same mistake several
times in a row and it had us all (narrator included) in stitches: "When
standing erect, Abraham Lincoln was 4 feet 6 inches tall."
Fortunately, he got it right for the performance.
