Sounds of the Alps- The Alpine Echos play Alpenhorns

August 21, 2018

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 […]

What is Spanferkel? A Roasted Pig, Perfect for Any German Festival!

August 4, 2018

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 […]

Tech Guy and I are crazy busy sorting through the thousands […]

Plymouth Junge Kameraden Band- An American High School Band Playing German Music!

August 9, 2016

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 Junge […]

Celebrating German Culture in America

What I enjoy the most about German Girl in America is meeting new people and learning about all the ways they maintain their German Heritage here in America. Dale Blank has been sharing loads of wonderful information about a great band he plays with, the Alte Kamaraden. Since 1942 the band has been performing for […]
