Mid-Summer News: Recordings and Live Date
While the summer rains have been pouring down generously, I have been driving in the harvest of tunes I’ve been playing so far this year. When people asked me on the street whether they can listen to my music online, I had to say no, sorry. But now I’ve finally recorded a few tracks for soundcloud and youtube:
I’m also happy to announce that I’ve been asked to play a small set at the Milchkandl Hoffest this year: Sun, August 24th, 1pm to 6pm (13:00 to 18:00).
Milchkandl is an initiative for direct marketing of organic cow’s milk. That means more income for the farmers and fewer emissions by only delivering within a small radius and only with an electric car. Their dairy products are the tastiest you will find, especially their bergamotte-nut greek joghurt or their unhomogenized natural milk.

Before I go back to practicing the upcoming program, I wanted to share a few favorite memories from this past half year of street music.
There have been so many lovely people coming up, so many nice encounters that really lifted my spirits. However, a few were especially sweet. Like the little kid who, at first sceptical, would not stop turning the crank, and when his parents decided it was time to go, he burst into tears.
Or the couple where the guy was on the phone for a bit while I explained the instrument to his girlfriend. When he came back she impressed him with her gurdy knowledge like a pro.
Or the group of four friends on Stephansplatz who suddenly started dancing a choreography of what looked like line dance to me. Generally, all the people that spontaneously started dancing on the streets when they passed by —they make me really happy.
