Praise in any Language 2011-07-04 Our English-speaking church in Vienna has five choirs. This is a portion of the "African Singers and Drummers" choirs performing a week ago. We have over forty nationalities in the congregation, so music ranges from Africa to Wesley, including youth and praise and gospel. All very uplifting - and sometimes a bit shocking for a person raised in the US mid-west (like me). Last Sunday this group sang songs from Mozambique and South Africa.
Captain 2011-08-25 Herr Martin is captain of his reconstructed Tschaike that is used for tours on the Danube. A Tschaike is a 16th century long narrow military boat that was rowed. He also has renovated a ship's mill (uses river current to turn the stones). A fun afternoon with him - we are putting together a group for another trip in September. Thanks for your kind comments on my shots in the last couple of days. They haven't been the best - more taken than made, less creative than I try to do. So I appreciate your comments especially.
Hurdy Gurdy 2011-06-25 A musician at the same gothic "medieval" festival in Vienna as yesterday's bat-witch. His music was OK, but he was on a stage (notice the microphone pick-up). No green grass and strolling here. I like his costume in any case. Thanks for the kind comments about yesterday's work.
