Reminded me of Robin Williams when he was the alien on Mork & Mindy: "I have to go to the bathroom ... number 3!"...
The posts a bit back about Weill and Lenya brought to mind another artist of the time, Django Reinhardt, a great jazz guitarist who influenced a great many following guitarists. I used to point out Django to my finger-picking snob friends: Django used a flatpick and he had two paralyzed fingers (ring and pinky) on his left, fretting hand and he still was more agile than a great many full-handed finger-pickers. Here he is playing a number familiar to Das Boot fans:

Along the same lines as Django, Anton Karas, a zither player, also had a sort of East European sound to his works and is most famous for the theme music and soundtrack to The Third Man film. Karas was literally discovered underground, in the wine cellar of a bistro, performing for tips, by the director of the movie:

Take that, finger-picking snobs! ... :haha:
