Now, to end this column I must(?) pass on information titled "Official Notice Top Secret" from Michigan. A select group meets "sporadically once a month" on the 3rd and 4th Thursday afternoons. That is, except when they meet in the evening. All meetings are preceded by a strategy meetin g in a local restaurant and then they wend their way to a member's home. Each member signs in with three songs that the member is prepared to lead. Meetings are held with no idle chit chat as this is a most serious gathering. All instruments are tuned upon arrival , or tile possessor is banished to a room to ponder her sins and retun e. Members come from any cities and even several states to join th is elite gro up known as The Ladies Dulcimer and Terrorist Society. Visitors are welcome, but Natah Mahri forewarns that one should be prepared to be terrified. She clai ms most of their victims to be small ch ildren and an imals, but I can personally repon on hav ing been terrorized at the Great Black Swamp Festival. If you wish to attend, passwords may be
gOllen from Natah Mahri at 3 13/68 1-1 688 or Rem iclud at 3 13/887-9067 or Natasha at 3 13/652-2948. Do not take such a visit lightly. This is a very seri ous group.
