We tried to transport the surprising phenomen of loving music to our daughters and grandchildren. We started with old German folksongs, illustrated by the cartoonist Tomi Ungerer. Recently one of my daughters opened a youtube channel (like her father some years before)…

Catou’s comment:
J’ai eu l’occasion d’enregistrer cette chanson pendant mes vacances en Allemagne
avec un merveilleux accordéoniste et bassiste
Je chante en m’accompagnant d’un bouzouki un peu modifié (retiré 4 cordes) et accordé comme un banjo plectrum.
