That would be interesting, for sure. We live near a Catholic church
that marks the hours on the church bells and when we're outside, it's
kind of neat to hear them.  (However, one of the tunes they've used is
a song that sounds disturbingly close to a tune I know as "The Lusty
Young Smith," and that's a wee bit distracting.)  Does anyone have an
idea of how to mark the (not midnight or dawn) hours at an event?
Would one person ringing a bell be enough?
