Welcome to a dress rehearsal. I've got a fifty+ page script to HTMLize before tonight's Canteen Ma, and the place where Sancho and Don Quixote sing together requires some table/column magic which is heavy lifting for me as I'm HTML tarded. Mrs. Drumbo helped and it looks good in preview, but this is the real test (fingers Crossed):

DON QUIXOTE:

SANCHO:

I am I, Don Quixote,

I'm Sancho!

The Lord of la Mancha,

Yes, I'm Sancho!

My destiny calls and I go,

I'll follow my master

And the wild winds of fortune

Till the end

Will carry me onward,

I'll tell all the world proudly

Oh whithersoever they blow!

I'm his squire! I'm his friend!
