Every Tuesday, step by step, since 2011, I’m walking with my readers from A to Z, last week we had “Z”, so this week we’ll start with “A” again – I’m sure you’ll also find a story or a music title tagged with “A”: Africa, angel, Alaska, archery, armchair, athletic, apple, Amsterdam, America, accident, automobile, Amish, Australia: Feel free to add in the comments below the link to your personal interpretation of the letter “A”!!! Myself I’ll focus on AMSTERDAM:
AMSTERDAM
When comparing cities, so there are beautiful, hope conferring towns, but also those from which one wishes to escape as soon as possible (do you dare to add YOUR examples?). Amsterdam is the city of my dreams, Arnsberg is the one, I am glad to have left, never coming back again. Too much at the local high school was left during my school days in the fifties by the evil spirit of the Third Reich. The state of mine still isn’t mine. But we had fine days on a houseboat in Amsterdam last year!

a surprising story, Debbie! “…he stopped fights between men and assisted drunken sailors back to base. He even received a promotion from “Ordinary Seaman” to “Able Seaman”…”

What great music you have given us this morning, Frizz. Love this new version of ‘I’m along tonight’, and as for the Alfonso tracks – what a treat. But I’m not ready with my A any more than I was ready with my Z. Must go think and have a cuppa tea.

here is Alfonso’s ALONE TONIGHT again, sorry, TISH, I’ve changed the content of my A-word post from “ALONSO ALONE” (music) to AMSTERDAM / ARNSBERG (writing, photography), because I’m trying to put the focus back on photography again, sometimes I believe always guitar music could be too much for my readers?

hi Marianne, you’ve posted wonderful articles featuring ARGENTINA! My daughter, an architect, once visited Argentina and was excited about the self made houses in Ushuaia and elsewhere…
P.S.:
on Sunday, July 13th, the soccer team from Argentina meets the team from Germany to do the finale…
My fingers learned to pick the national anthem of Germany on my acoustic guitar:

Excellent fingerstyle solo technique, Frizz. I never heard before the national anthem of Germany, so thanks for sharing. I wish you a well soccer play at the finale.
