Francis Timothy Patrick Dorritie I wonder if this will get us an audience with the Pope. "Special 'face time' opportunity for people named Francis...."

Jeff Ream Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 oh and YES he'd have made a GREAT pope... Now we got an Italian Pope (his parents immigrated from Italy) from Argentina... so do cabs have to get permission when they play "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ironlips Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 so do cabs have to get permission when they play "Don't Cry For Me Argentina"? Now that's funny, and speaking of which... The current individual under discussion, together with the already identified Mr. Patrone, organized one of the largest gatherings of priests, nuns, brothers, and other religious types this side of Vatican City, and they did this every August for about 30 years. The Dream, like its counterparts CYO Nationals and Mission Drums, was a bona fide movable feast, and featured more "saints" than the New Testament: St. Kevin's, St. Vincent's, Blessed Sac, Holy Name, the Saints (from Edison)... Of course there were plenty of sinners too: Skyliners, Musketeers, Raiders, Sunrisers (sun-worshipping pagans), Caballeros, Hurricanes, Princemen, Crusaders (doing penance), Brewers and Buccaneers... But all were required to present themselves before an "audience" packed with habits, Roman collars and rosaries. And every performer got the "message" that drum corps needed the church, and vice-versa. Of course, that the was whole point for our current subject, I think. And he had followers and diciples far and wide, like his colleague Fr. DeProfio, 'way out there in the wilderness of Bridgeport. It takes extraordinary individuals like these to sustain drum corps. There are just too few from that mold around at present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gsksun4 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Memorable religious moments from the 1963 Dream. The nuns sitting in the front row in Roosevelt Stadium as the Yankee Rebels start their concert number, The Stripper by David Rose and the guy dancing the strip-tease with his sash twirling. They just looked at each other and turned red as a beet. That was the warm-up to Pepe playing the solo in concert, then turning around and scratching himself as he made his way back into line. This one got a chuckle out of them and they were never the same. Hail Mary, full of grace............
