Oh dear... I wish you told Fritz this a year ago. Last I heard he was 
up to the opening chorale in the 3rd movement (the work being based on 
that great Newfoundland folk song "I'se the Bye That Builds the Boat" 
and 60s television show theme songs) and I'VE spent the better part of 
6 months lining up 15 mellotrons to play it AND Martin was already to 
conduct. Just last week I'd fielded a call from Ice Capades. Seems they 
were interested in staging it, sort of a "mellotrons on ice" show.

Well gang, drop tools. Dickson doesn't like the idea. We wouldn't want 
his blood to run cold now, would we? Shame, really...
