Yes, very nice. Was just about to look for such kind of music, and now i find tons of german swing at YouTube?

Hurrying home in a 504 K, i guess this must have been fun

I would refrain doing this in the Beetle though, i already had that, please not again

Indeed many videos of German Swing on youtube. But it is heartbreaking:

Many are from the late 30s - and just years leater most and sometimes all what they show in places and cities, was in ruins and ashes. Many musicians and composers and arrangers were dead, or had fled, since so many artists and cultural greats in that time were Jews.

Unbelievable when watching these old films. I mean, its just a few months between blossoming and optimism, and total destruction and despair.

Recalls me of Stefan Zweig'S formdiable biography "The world of yesterday" - LINK - where he calls to life the optimistic feel of life in Vienna short before world war one broke out. Superb book, so vivid and alive - and usually I am no big fan of Zweig.

I am not a great fan of him either, maybe because we had to read some texts of him at school

, but this book is really something else.

Zweig emigrated to London after harrassment by the SA already in Austria, only to flee from there to New York (out of fear that England would declare him an enemy alien and detain him). He then fled to Argentine, Paraguay and finally Brasil where he was welcomed, got new papers and was allowed to stay. He however committed suicide in 1941 together with his wife, being depressive and seeing his spiritual home Europe being destroyed. (classical "illegal" immigrant, papers withdrawn by his home country, and then not allowed to stay in other countries without papers)

The german 'Autobahn' b.t.w. was not planned nor begun by Hitler, but by and during the Weimar Republic, to improve infrastructure and trade within Germany and towards East and West. Typically Hitler finished the work and made it his own idea, and triumph. Some ideas never get old

Without Basia (Trzetrzelewska), Matt Bianco maybe would not have had such a jump start in the early 80s. The band later split up, reunited again in I think 2004 for just one album, and that maybe is the best Matt Bianco album of all. Basia stayed in Europe, Matt Bianco went to Japan.

This is from Basia second solo album.

Another name form that time, 80s, that strikes me: Swing Out Sisters. another band that later went to Japan, and remained popular there for many years to come:

When I was a teen, I had a crush on this girl's voice. So energetic, sexy, setting such an irresistable mood: sparkles everywhwere, like bubbles in a champagne glass. Fritz Brause Band: Shilly-Shally! Its not the - non-special - song, its her enticing singing! Or so I thought at that time.

And this is form on eof my most liked, special LP albums ever, Victor Lazlo: She. When it was released, it became one of my most listened to albums ever, like Dido today. Unfortunately, the album wa snot long even for the standrds of its time, just 32 minutes I think. But oh so beautiful music and singing, uncomplicated, enticing songs, soft rythms- what else to ask for? She did some more god albums later, but "She" I always considered to be her best, conquering my heart on first listening. The new re-reölease of it on CD is an extended album with some more playing time, and added instrumentals. It can be found at youtube.

And that also was the 80s, one of the rela big smash hits. Needs no introduction. Timeless beauty. Llyog Webber's best ever.

Grabs the beats and never lets them go, driving them all the time. The beauty and the beast - this girl was both!

One comment: "This is a song for people who actually listen to lyrics. And there are damn few of us left."

I'm not certain - could be that I posted these already some months ago. If so and you are annoyed by it, sorry.
