The noon bell rings in Catholic churches to this day because on this date, 552 years ago, Janos Hunyadi led his men to defeat the Ottomans, who had besieged the Hungarian city of Nandorfejervar (which means "Nandor's White Castle"). And today also marks the release of my album, Nandor's White Castle. It is currently available for purchase and shipping on my web site, and for purchase and digital download on Amazon.com.

Yeah, I've seen it spelled both ways (including on Yugoslavian, Croatian, and Hungarian web sites), and I don't get hung up about it.
