@durekatt Det gjorde min mor også:) Når jeg tenker meg om, gjør hun det vel fortsatt.

[UunoHikivuori12]

" Schorschl, ach kauf mir doch ein Automobil, / es kost' ja nicht viel von Hamburg nach Kiel. / Schorschl, ach kauf mir doch ein Automobil, / schnell mit mir hin nach Kiel. / Glaube, im Auto, da fährt es sich fein, /

 sage nicht nein, komm, steige ein. / Schorschl, ach fahr mit mir im Automobil, / von Hamburg bis nach Kiel! "

When I was a kid my grandmother use to sing a little song on this melody, but with another text: (in norwegian) Sett deg oppi kørja´og la ballongen gå.." = "Jump into the basket, and let the balloon take off.."

I have this record in my collection, the same recording, but on the "JUMBO-RECORD" label. ("Jumbo" was the cheaper version of the "FONOTIPIA-RECORD")

Der Chor klingt wie heute aufgenommenes Gegröhle, das auf 8kHz reduziert und in das Instrumental eingefügt wurde. Selbst, wenn das echt ist, waren das definitiv keine professionellen Sänger!

This is Dream of a Rarebit Fiend (1906 I believe), not Brooklyn Cakewalk. The wrong titles were sometimes added to recordings by foreigners and folk musicians who didnt know the actual title.

Fabulous editing - thanks Where on earth did you get all of it - must have taken years to collect. Or was it All in the Family?

Loved your Victorian image of the Charles Dana Gibson couple cakewalking. Now that's a real American Gibson Girl. Can't you just see Jenny Churchill doing it to amaze London?

History speaks for itself regarding the road taken by Germany.

too bad the American influence was not even strong enough to enlighten things up in the USA themselves.

Wilson was made the fool of the world when Congress pushed the country into isolation, the Treaty of Versailles became the source of all the troubles we still have in the Middle East and Balcans, racial segregation stained democracy in the USA, and there is no need to make any comments about the American influence on the financial world in 1929 and 2008.
