I’m getting back to you today with an extra post. I helped out in a band for a gig last Saturday. Helping out because one of the two lead singers left last November, and a second one got necessary. If you look at the videos, though, you’ll only see one singer – me. Because the other singer got sick at short notice and couldn’t join the event. How ironic… lol. So I changed the concept of the songs, learned all the extra lyrics and different voices within a few days, and … everything went well!

The past two weeks were filled with evening rehearsals, and there are still some until July 1st. Because on the evening of July 1st, I have the opportunity to perform three of my songs live at a local festival. Four more colleagues will get the same chance to present some of their songs.

I hope you all are having a good week so far with lots of smiles and things to look forward to. Here is one of my favorite songs by Andy McDonald. Have a great day, and be who you want to be today!
Read more ›Happy Tuesday, everybody. Coldplay published sooo many great songs in the past. Still, there is one that stands out for me. It was released when I was about to see more about life than ever before. It was a time of profound discovery and the beginning of a neverending journey in a new direction, and this song has been a companion. Which song of Coldplay do you like best?

When even the lyrics are not really fitting the poem’s story, I felt like sharing it today. I am glad the poem reminded me of this beautiful song which I haven’t heard in ages. Happy Tuesday, everybody!

After I shared “Take Me Home, Country Roads” by Jared Halley, Colin, of MeAndRay, told me to check out Halley’s version of Bohemian Rhapsody. Really, I have no words for what talent and, at the same time, genius in coordination he is. The man has no instrument to rely on but hits every singly note precisely and is always on time with every instrument he “imitates”. Listen to that electric guitar. You would not believe there is a voice.
Read more ›I heard a beautiful version of “Country Roads” this morning. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find it on YouTube, BUT…. I found something even better. This cover version is fantastic in general, but also because the artist does every voice and instrument himself, AND because of the creative video. This guy is amazing! But check it out for yourselves.

Here is a song I could hear all day. It is super short but super cool too. It is impossible to sit still. There are quite a lot of remixes out there also, long ones. But I still prefer this one. So, enjoy and have a quick but intense energy boost to your day. Happy Tuesday!

For this #MomentsOfJoy, I thought of a song that always manages to make me smile and dance. The song itself has this effect on me but also takes me back to the time it was published. I was 13 and as usual, we spent a part of the summer break in Vienna. When I heard this song, I loved it so much that I made it the first song I bought on a single (like the one below).

Yesterday I stumbled over Chris Mann due to a Corona parody video. I checked out more of his songs and couldn’t believe my ears. His voice and his way of expression are outstanding. I listened to some of his records and found versions of You Raise Me Up and Hallelujah. I had not thought that there someone is able to top the ones I called my favorite versions. Both were moving me to tears.

Yesterday, Colin of MeAndRay shared a song of Scott Jacobs whom he saw performing live as a street entertainer. Colin liked the voice and the song and bought a CD. In our following discussion, I mentioned that I experienced the same twice in Southern California. Colin asked me to share songs of those artists too.

Many of you know that I am a singer. I produced 11 songs (rock/pop/ballads) so far and published them on my blog. But actually, I am a classical singer. I have sung at several concerts in halls and churches, with big and small orchestras and bands, have been booked by choirs or for big official events for the entertainment part. I played and sang leading parts in little musicals, and won both contests I participated in many years ago. Still, I don’t have a lot of digital recordings where you can hear my classical voice. That’s why I am happy I can share an Ave Maria with you which I sang in church a few weeks ago.

Last Saturday I had tickets for Status Quo. They were the main act at an annual festival in our country. Of course, they look older BUT boy did they bring the hall to a full boil! It was already a hot day and hot inside but nobody cared. We jumped, danced sang, clapped our hands, … It was an amazing experience and I felt like a teenager again hearing those songs again.

I thought, why not sticking with the 80s again? Here is a song of the early ’80s that makes you slip into the weekend smoothly. Have a wonderful Friday and a great weekend. Read more ›
Hello and good morning, everybody! I am sorry that I was barely around on the weekend. We painted the walls and ceilings of two rooms which kept me busy from Friday evening until Sunday evening. But It is done which is a big relief! Read more ›
This is the wall tattoo above my bed. I see it daily and it still speaks to me. I often write about dreams and how they trigger our intention to try something new or to explore new fields. Those dreams are like a preview of something we desire to be or to have. They can generate new courage and strength to take steps with conviction and determination towards the realization of that dream. Read more ›
Lately, I heard the original version of the song I am sharing today. It reminded me of the version with which I was introduced to this song in 1982. It was sung by a popular German opera singer of that time. The original song was released in 1965 by Frankie Valli. You know I am an opera singer and therefore I want to share the 1982 version. Enjoy! Read more ›

Good morning and happy Monday to everyone. We had a wonderful time in Vienna celebrating my mom’s 70th birthday. She did not expect us to come over and so the joy was even greater on both sides. My mom is truly the rock for us three daughters. Whatever it is, she is there. I am happy and thankful we have her. Read more ›
Recently, Colin of MeAndRay.com shared a wonderful link with me. It is a Ted Talk with the conductor Benjamin Zander. He is talking about the transformative power of classical music. No, this won’t become a post about classical music. What went so deep were Zander’s profound insights about life and beyond which he incorporated in his talk.“I will never say anything that couldn’t stand as the last thing I ever say.” This was the vow of a woman who survived Auschwitz. Zander told the story of that woman at the end of his talk. It is the inspiration for this post. I will try keeping this post shorter than my usual Monday posts because I want you to listen to that talk. Something wonderful will happen inside of you. Read more ›
