Harry Callahan and the WCE Trio to represent the Wuxi China Expatdom in the World Expat Vision Song Contest

Harry Callahan and the WCE Trio, the resident band of Gambay's Pub, will represent the Wuxi China Expatdom in the World Expat Vision Song Contest to be held this year in Brandon, Manitoba, Canada.  

The Trio consists of: Neils Bohr - flute; Kennesaw "Hui San" Landis - piano, and bagpipes,  and Hans Klingner - harp.  

Callahan accompanied by the trio will perform an eclectic disco-country-bluegrass-classical version of Ava Maria et Christina -- a song written in honor of the two mothers of Gorzo the Mighty, King of the Wuxi China Expatdom.  The music for Ave Maria et Christina was composed by Hans Klingner; the lyrics were written by Alfred Lord McClusky, the Expatdom's Poet Laureate.

Callahan, asked how he fancied the group's chances in the contest, said "A band has got to know its limitations.  Thankfully, we haven't any."

  1. This is fantastic. Our group will put on an incandescent performance.

    But I just hope that the Chief Adjudicator, Vladimir Putin, won't tolerate any cheating this year. Don't want Suzhou Expatdom's band trying that trick again - singing 'Nessun Dorma' back-to-front.

    Brandon - is that a northern cultural mecca? And will the Song Contest be telecast live, to a global audience? Imagine that...3 billion viewers, glued to their armchairs. I can hardly wait!
