...campaign trail took him to a local Schützenfest (marksmen's festival), an annual three-day beer-gulping celebration in which the local shooting club chooses a new king of marksmen. As is customary, about 70 marksmen dressed up in green uniforms, and a brass band with glockenspiel and drums accompanied them on a little parade through the city. They then formed a half-circle in front of the beer tent and intoned the Lord's Prayer before compelling Mahlberg to try to shoot the golden crown off a wooden bird.

Meanwhile, the glockenspiel part got blended in. It's still there, believe me, but let's just say it's not upstaging the lead vocal...
...post-production." In the concluding installment, I'll explain what to do at a photo shoot in Back Bay, Boston, and how our sound technician Brook became known as "helmet-head" to hundreds of grade school children. Until then, sing a ditty. Be proud. Your moment may come soon, glockenspiel...
