There is the vocalist, Dieter Themel.
On "blues harp" also known as mouth organ
and accordeon, we hear Arthur Ottowitz.
Joerg Foressnegg plays a mean guitar,
Helmut Spreitzer on Fender Bass
and last. but not least, Kiki Oswald lays down
a fierce rhythm on drums.
Last night they performed on a jam packed Main Square in Bleiburg.
The first tune established a joyful mood among the crowd, which lasted almost to midnight and to their last offering.
The music was great,
The night was dry and mild.
The crowd was enthusiastic
No better environment could be imagined.
It was, as they would say along the Mississippi, a blast.
:
Here is an interesting (to me) side light.
The above are persons who live on the main square
and who simply listen to the music through their open windows.
In German they are called "Zaungäste", literally translated: "Fence Guests",
meaning that they are on the other side of the fence and therefore need not pay any admission.
The best translation I can find, however, is: "Onlookers"
But an Onlooker may also be someone who has paid admission and sits in the audience.
Does the English language really not have a special name for a "Zaungast"???
