Welcome to the group.
We'd like to know exactly where you live....I was stationed in
Frankfurt/Bonames, with an apartment in Bad Homburg on the hill behind
the casino. After discharge from the army, I remained, was choir
director at St. Christopher's in Frankfurt, where it is nestled there in
the Rothschild park...actually rented a grand piano and practiced in the
old tower to the estate that became the park, that friends rented.
Used to enjoy visitng the Opel zoo to the west and it was fun going on
out further and up the mountain in the snow to the restaurant under the
transmitting towers.
Coasting down the mountain in the VW with the engine off saved gas and
made for a cheap date!
Anyhow, I was organist at the DOM in Frankfurt for the English Masses
for awhile...loved the area, but ended up touring with musicals as
msucia director and worked in Berlin the Bremen as a guest at the
Stadttheatre Hamburg at the Theatre am Briennerstrasse and Munich.
I was lucky enough to find great housing in small towns, including the
Naturfreunde Haus in Sindelfingen when I was working in Stuttgart for a
month and the Ford Studenten village in Berlin.
The rich musical life of Germany is beyond all comprehension in any
other country in the world, in my opinion.
And, being single at the time, what mastery I have your language came
from dating, though the dialogue coaches at the Theatre in Bremen were a
help, especially in eliminating my American Mid-western UR when
pronoucing aber...aber, das ist genug!
We are pleased to welcome a Rodger Representative from Germany to the fold.
