April in Berlin 2010: (3/6) Where Leo Monosson once lived - in HD !

[Hanseatic55]

I have to ask friends do it,but I can not promise to find someone.I am with my 56 years too stupid,thinking still analogue,sorry.

[Hanseatic55]

I have a record made in Paris in 1935 with Michel Emer and his Radio Jazz Band."Cheek to cheek" and "The Piccolino". Leo Monosson is singing in french.Sorry to be too old and too stupid to put it in"you tube".

Ja Inky, ich bin's dir einig, Jurek verdient soviel Lob, es war wirklich harte Arbeid !

[shirla26]

What a lovely way to honour Leo Monosson - these are such precious, ephemeral memories of voices and names lost in the past. I thank you so much for these moments. It is such a rare pleasure to have a chance to learn and listen to a forgotten generation of musicians.

You have done a fantastic work researching and preserving the music history and appreciating the related places! I have tried to do the similar - to find the exact house where Hermann Bick (Ben Berlin) was born in Tallinn in 1890s. But the first trials were unsuccessful - there's a lack of information in Estonian archives. Unfortunately, he is totally forgotten in Estonia because he made his career in Germany and under a pseudonyme...

@valdo2est

Indeed, some traces are so forgotten or unknown that seem today to be more than hazy.

Good luck to have good initial data and information. And to find people who are helpful.

Best greetings...

[valdo2est]

@jurek46pink Thanks a lot! I try to do the best what is possible...

przepiękne miasto - szkoda że o mój Szczecin nikt nie dba, potencjał ten sam ale wygląd ...

[gbpico]

Thanks for your excellent post and delicious rendition by Monosson as ever !

[1920sbuff]

What a fascinating walk through that superb prewar mansion!

[parlophonman]

I am looking forward for a next walk with a good spirit ... !

[jurek46pink]

@parlophonman

So am I.

With belief that the present one was for both walkers nice

and satisfying.

It IS a difference, indeed, Gabi.

Another lovely tango sung by Monosson with his unique voice and cabaretish style. Fascinating photos and information.

[GW828]

This great Artist not ceases to amaze me!

The beautiful illustration!

In your pictures - the details contain a lot of content.

This video - my favourite.

Thank you!

Zupełnie inne oblicze Berlina! Nie znałem wcześniej za dobrze tego starego, tradycyjnego miasta... Berlin zazwyczaj kojarzył mi się jako europejski Nowy Jork pełen nowoczesnych, szklanych, zimnych budynków. A tu proszę, taki zaskoczenie! Dziękuję za te piękne zdjęcia!

[jurek46pink]

@retrolukasz88

Prawdziwe starocie berlińskie dopiero się pojawi...

zapraszam !
