Hey Greg
As a Wild Bunch Bass and Fasnacht Snare drummer I know all the Swiss Mariners and most of the AM guys. Please say hello to my good friend Joe Mawn.
As a citizen of Basel I just wanted to tell you, that there is a tiny mistake in your brilliant and touching comments. It’s about Wettstein-Marsch. This piece of music is not named after the bridge that is crossing the Rhine river but after a former Major of Basel – Johann Rudolf Wettstein who lived from 1594 to 1666. All that starts with “Wettstein”….the piece of music, the bridge, the square, the alley is named after tha guy.
Pardon me for playing the teacher and thanks for the music, spirit and friendship.
See you in July 2009. Cheers, Danny

Greg, your words and the music bring back amazing memories and the feelings I had during our 2002 Tour to Basel.
This recording is beautiful, and full of Mariner Spirit. It really touched me. Words, Pictures and Music really can’t give this Mariner experience justice. If you’ve never experienced it, you will never know this unique and special part of what being a Mariner truly is. No other Fife & Drum corps has this gift of friendship and brotherhood that we share.
