Adapted for military use, and named the Trebuchet, this invention led the French army to many victories, as well adding to the festive atmosphere of Renaissance Festivals. While not remembered by name, they are honored in the traditional French carol "ballade de l'arme romaine aimée de plombier". Members: Peter Driscoll, Tim Y. Jones, Michael Hanna Hippie ManMister Tim's eclectic cappella trio PLUMBERS OF ROME present their ode to Rocky Mountain jam bands and their groupies. |
