Hi Mike

Yes that was fun but a bit "dry" on my side here compaired to yours.......

I had told you of my friends in the early boy scouts group here in Germany.

The buddies are now grandpas and grand grandpas and still meeting to sing songs

I dug through my tapes from Oranjemund

There are still some songs from the players ( Oh what a lovely war ) that i will post sometimes

Unfortunatly my Oklahoma Tape is bust, can anyone help ??????

The recordings were from Don Wilson

Georg, I took the song down, loved it, what year was it recorded and are there more? Where was das Sudwesterlied we listened to the other night?

I remember singing it and also I have a memory of a whole day ceremony of gymnastic displays, involving orange blue and white flags to celebrate
Republic day ?

[georgswa (Georg Ruf) (RIP)]

Now to the count down

10.000 psts in sight

Barbara, On the rugby field? or Cricket field?

I remember A huge mass gymnastics display at the rugby field one evening, circa 1978

[barb (Fry)]

It must have been earlier than that, the one I remember as I was already in high school in 78
but yes the cricket field -

by the way I see I got the recognision for the word games - I must just say that Michelle and Nicky were at before I got here I just kept adapting
it and without Diane and boy georg and paula well it wouldn't be a game 

[Michael Alexander]

Still Barbara, on those quite nights when the forum stood still, you and Georg Jnr, kept the home fires burning!


THanks
