Compared to the office at my old job, my new workplace has a much better view.
This is Hauptkirche Sankt Katharinen (St. Catherine’s Church) in Hamburg.
This old school is directly next to the church and is in the process of being demolished. That’s not much of a great view but I’ll have front row seats when they knock it down.
Last night my special lady friend and I went to Gasthausbrauerei Nolte to see the Rob Ryan Roadshow. I’m not sure if I have written about Nolte here before. It is, hands down, the best microbrewery in Lüneburg, maybe northern Germany. It is over 100 years old and it is a third generation family run place. It has a very down home traditional German flair to it. They offer great food and beer. One thing that a lot of people don’t know about it, is that it is a very popular stopping place on the country/rockabilly circuit in Germany.
The show was great. He played a lot of well known covers as well as some of his own music. The crowd was not as rowdy as I would have expected. When I walked in the door and saw a tableful of guys each looking like Charlie Daniels, I was a bit taken aback and had to make sure I was still in Germany. Then I walked into the hall and saw a bunch of other Germans dressed up like they just got off the set of Gunsmoke. For a brief second I thought I was at Billy Bob’s in Fort Worth.
Anyway, here are a couple of low-res pics as proof.
He may have actually deserved to be eaten, but the wolves decided it was not worth it.
Wolf 1: Dude, we got this kid cornered, there’s no escape!
…i’ll be dammed fighting you, it’s impossible, impossible!…
Wolf 2: Hmmm, if we eat this kid, we might catch the stupid. Better let him go.
Wolf 3: My ears!
This picture is from Der Spiegel. You can read the article here. You don’t have to. I just thought it was a funny picture.
Last summer I went away to the small village of Räbel for 2 weeks to record music. I was all by myself in a 200 year old farmhouse. Here are 2 songs that I recorded that are almost finished.
This one is called Trampoline.
This one is called Big Idea
This deck of playing cards was sent to me by a deranged and clearly insane person.
