Re: [Harp-L] Ben Bouman, Bertram Becher and Herbie Grezel three harp boogie in K-thal

I'm pretty sure that's Doc Becher in the middle. I can lighten that video up some, I'm gonna ask the video poster if I can do that, but as rusty as my German is now, it might take me a while to write it so I don't look like a supreme jackass.
IT reminds me a bit of Austria, this Wald hotel reminds me of the Haus Wartenberg I stayed in when I was going to school in Salzburg, Austria. They never turned on any heat to our rooms the whole time, I had harps freeze up because of ice, I'd have to warm them up before playing. 
They really loved the sound of the harp, I remember they had me play at the Christmas dinner in the banquet hall. I played "Dixie," first position.

I can't see very well but I believe that Ben is the one on the  
Left.............I'm not sure about the others.

As for the venue (guest house) there are a lot of those little  
villages..........I've never been to Klingenthal, I've spent a bit of time  
in Ehestten,Hayingen, a very small village (actually 2 little villages  
very close together) about 45 minutes south east of Stuttgart.  Only one  
little guest house.....GREAT food, wonderful people............it's like  
looking back in a time machine 60+ years ago (actually more like centeries  
ago), except for the satallite dishes on the roofs......:D.  I was in a  
completely seperate industry then, so I really didn't get a chance to see  
the local flavor, but seeing the video, brought back some great  
memories..............Thanks Dave.

Jeff
