Celebrating German Culture in America

There was a huge crowd near the Welcome Gates of German Fest in Milwaukee…WHY? The Alpine Echos were performing, and it’s not every day you see a half dozen Alphorns playing real music! I’m sure it was the first time many people even heard the Alp Horn outside of a Ricola Ad! (You can hear […]

Celebrating German Culture in America

I’d heard there would be Spanferkel at Germanfest, and I was a bit confused… What is Spanferkel? A “Ferkel” is a little Pig” (it’s also what my mom would call me when I came home particularly muddy) and “Span” is wood chips. Pig in Wood Chips? That can’t be right. It was time to learn […]

Celebrating German Culture in America

“So ein Tag, so wunderschön wie Heute“… when I heard those words sung, I immediately flashed back to my childhood. My mother playing this on her record player… my Oma’s radio… singing in German school. But the source was unexpected; the singer was a beautiful High School girl, standing in front of the Plymouth […]

Dale Blank has been sharing loads of wonderful information about a great band he plays with, the Freistadt Alte Kamaraden. Since 1942 the band has been performing […]
