A CAJUN IN BERLIN

And now on Youtube, "A Cajun in Berlin"

Re: A CAJUN IN BERLIN

Don't forget a link to the website!

Re: A CAJUN IN BERLIN

See link #2
It's a matter of searching, Peer

Re: A CAJUN IN BERLIN

Yes, Ron, I already found it by searching. Thanks for the advice.
It's just tradition here to put a link to the website underneath - that's why I mentioned it.
A beautiful song, and a flabbergastingly amazing video clip!! Very well done.
Very impressive.
What many people don't know, is that Berlin was made a nazi capital by Hitler and his gang, not by the Berliners themselves (who were traditionally not so nazi-minded at all - Muenchen was until then the nazi headquarters), and that the Berlin population (at the time mainly women, children and old folks - most of the men were gone) had a terrible time during and after the war.

Re: A CAJUN IN BERLIN

Hi Peer,
Sorry for the flauwiteit!
And I totaly agree with you about the video.
All the stuff from Gerard Dole is very original and also very useful to learn from.

Re: A CAJUN IN BERLIN

Van jou kan ik het wel hebben!
I wonder what Gerard does with these fine productions. It all looks and sounds 100 % professional. And very original indeed!

Re: A CAJUN IN BERLIN

Merci Gérard.

A terrible first-hand account of those months was reissued recently:
