Moin, Moin from Texas!

If you like the Golden entertainment of the 1920s, you might like Brendan McNally's dark comic novel "Germania" (Simon & Schuster, 2009), about the Flying Magical Loerber Brothers, four somewhat magical, Jewish vaudeville entertainers and onetime child stars who were the toast of Berlin before WWII and who reunite during the surreal, three-week "Flensburg Reich" of Admiral Doenitz, Hitler's very unlucky successor.

A great period piece. Engaging illustrations accompany the music. GREAT general commentary. Biographical material is well worth reading. Thank you for this posting. FIVE STARS!

Meine grossmuter hätte geliebt das. (Forgive meine kindesches Deutsches, bitte.) My grandmother grew up in Berlin from the 1910s to 1932, when she emigrated with her family. Her photos, magazines, newspapers, brochures and mail flyers from the time are astounding. She had catalogs from the main department stores on K-Damm, nightclubs, restaurants and other night life. So much was lost. (Thanks Uncle Adolph! Love ya! Hope ya rot in Hell!) But the spirit of that time should be recovered.

berlin is still the most energetic and just most amazing and astonnishing city in the world. and i've been to really MANY places, but berlin is just... berlin.

[RangerThompson]

@refragerator Ahhh Mensch soo true. Best city in the world.

[miguelmouta]

@refragerator Indeed. But only if you consider gays and drugs, energetics and astonishing .

My pleasure, it was worth while presenting this great artist who, as you point out, formed part of a whole series of cabaret performers in the Weimar Republic era.

Besides this recording featured hiere, I've got a couple of others by Curt Bois. Will look them up!

[kspm01]

Highly interesting recording!

Danke schon, G. Now I really feel I'm back home.

Interesting performance. Again, especially like the pictures and info. Germany must have been a great place to live before 1933.
