Dondra and I are delighted to share this beautiful rendition of “A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square” with all our friends here. It is being performed by** Le Ministre de l’au-delà**, with the ably supportive Benji.
“It’s a wonderful gift and I will always treasure it!”, she said, heretofore having been used only to MY caterwauling of songs.
Thank you, Le Ministre de l’au-delà from the bottom of our hearts!
If you like that one, please check out “Le Secret” and “Wanderer’s Nachtlied” (The Wanderer’s Night song). What a wonderful talent! Thanks for sharing this with all of us,** Le Ministre de l’au-delà**!
Think of a “Wanderer” as a “Journeyman” and many young people in Germany still carry on this tradition. I myself have met two young men in a pub in Germany. They come in, recite a poem and then ask for a gratis mug of beer. AFAIK, they re never turned down. They then regale the patrons there with tales of their travels.
They are not beggars. They do an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay, AND they are respected.
If anyone (especially my German friends) have more to add or corrections, I would appreciate reading them, but Le Ministre de l’au-delà’s rendition of the “Night Song” evokes images of that night when I met these two young men.
LeMinistre:
The song you performed for me on my birthday was very beautiful and was such a lovely gesture. I will treasure it and listen to it often. You are a kind and thoughtful person and I am honored to call you “friend”.
I am home from the hospital now and doing better. Thank you for your positive thoughts for my recovery.
