It's Rock & Roll!

Spent a little more time in the studio today recording guitar videos.

Marie's Country Bar is in Hadamar, a small town near Limburg. One of the waitresses , who was from one of the two big islands off the coast of Europe , was named Marie. A very funny gal who deserved to have a song written about her. This is the instrumental version. Yes, I played the drums.

I moved the online shop away from Bandcamp, which wasn't working for me. It's now available through the Hubzilla cart plugin. Sound clips are available through the Discography page. For people who absolutely don't want to sign up for Hubzilla or Zap, there's also a simple manual version which requires no sign-up, but does require manual interaction on my part.

Here's a picture of our Christmas concert in Welschbillig, which is in the area of Trier, Germany. It was great fun with Yvonne and Mareile (vocals) Michael (sax and flute) Raimund (trombone) Thomas (drums) Frank (keyboard) and RÃ¼diger (bass). Also poetry reading from Christina and some other young children. Everyone caught the spirit! A wonderful evening!

First portrait of the Ancient Aliens, drawn by Ken Matthew. The artist did not tell Jim or me which was which, but I'm assuming that I'm on the right, since he's the younger, better looking one.

Hi everyone! I'm off to see the guitar wizard (Jim Sawyers) for a few weeks of musical collaberation, Mexican cuisine; visiting with friends and family in Hotel California; a working vacation.

Happy Thanksgiving to all and to all a good time. See you in mid December!

Tell Me Heartache

While listening to some old recordings of mine with baritone sax, I found this;
"Tell Me Heartache".
The lyrics were written by Joyce Dutton, who was, (after my divorce from "she who shall not be named"), my lover at the time. Joyce wrote the lyrics for me, asking the questions that anyone would ask themselves, after having their fairy tale relationship destroyed. "Time heals all wounds", so I can enjoy the song without falling apart. Thanks again to Joyce for putting the locomotive back on the track and for the lovely lyrics.

Ur-Ur-Großvater, Julius Robrecht - Baumeister der Mühle in Fritzdorf 1842

This song was written for my Grandmother, Meta (geborene Robrecht), who was the grand daughter of Julius Robrecht.

Oma

Ich bin Enkelkind von Onkel Sam
Über den großen Teich geflogen
In dieses Land hab ich mich verliebt
Bin sofort hierher gezogen
Nun steh' ich hier
In dieser Stadt vor mir
Wurde sie geboren
Am Ufer des Rheins
Bin ich plötzlich ganz klein
Ihre Stimme in den Ohren

Oma
Es wär so schön gewesen
Einmal hier mit dir zu reden
Was würdest du mir dann erzählen
Über die Heimat
Und von deinem Leben

Oma kam nach Amerika
Ihre Träume zu erleben
Auf der Suche nach Freiheit
Die neue Heimat tief im Norden
Aber jetzt bin ich hier
Mit einem Foto von ihr
An der Brücke von Remagen
Ich spür was in mir
Im Geist ist sie hier
Und der Kreis ist vollkommen

Oma
Es wär so schön gewesen
Einmal hier mit dir zu reden
Was würdest du mir dann erzählen
Über die Heimat
Und von deinem Leben

Oma
Es wär so schon gewesen
Mit dir durch diese Straßen gehen
Alles durch deine Augen sehen
In deine Sprache
Mit dir zu reden
Oma
Oma
Oma
In deiner Sprache
Uns zu verstehen
