Ladies and gentlemen
I would like to announce that
our special guest cannot be with us tonight
but instead Old Dogbone has consented to make an
appearance
gentlemen and ladies,
please give a warm welcome to
Old Dogbone.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen. Hi Dimitri!

It is truly marvelous that you have consented to see me tonight

...yes, but please don't call me that I believe we discussed
that years ago. No it's a lovely name...
I know that you have given it a lot of thought,
but I do prefer the name of Sandro, thank you.

Dogbone dognbone

an old dog finds his home
an old dog has no more place to roam
an old dog dies in bed
and sleeps in paradise
forever, after.
