Udo

I really don´t know how to put this.

Ingo convinced me Udo Jürgens is a great entertainer. Dunno. Excuse me, I always thought ... he is... old.

Dang.
Was I wrong!
(Pic: us after the concert, tired!

Udo Jürgens is older than my Dad would be, who was born 1938. 4 years older.
He has so much power!
His songs are smart. Funny. Meaningfull.

Having had to guide both parents to death it´s kinda weird to experience how powerful a man can be who is even older - and healthy.

He can sing.
He plays the piano.
And dances inbetween.

I was full of.. joy, pain, frustration even.
Why did none of my parents was allowed to be like that? For me, for little Niece, for Bro?

It was a great concert.
Great musicians.

Young ones!
A "girl" who played the violin, she won prices in Russia.

When he started his show, he said "Hello Braunschweig!!", I loved this!

He said he´d been here often, usually in the town´s hall (Stadthalle), now in the Volkswagen-Arena.

Boy, it was cold in there! Ingo said, nah, it´s good they let some fresh air in (yah, wearing trousers! - still, brrr, cold!).
I really thought - as friends and Co did, too - we´d be the youngest. Ha! No!!!! Some old peeps, the rest... our age... and younger.

The first song was the one I love most, "give ma a dream"...

If you speak German... try to get a ticket, this man is just great, in his head, with his voice. Oh, and he can dance! And... his ... uhhh... "jacket" is red inside, looks crazy and great.

After standing ovations third time he came back in a white bathrobe, suggesting he´s going to bed.
Hehe, so cute.

Played more songs,one of them "At 66, when you retire..." Yah, sure.
He added before (can you add before?) when he turned 75 it wasn´t 75 but the third time he turned 25 :-)
Let´s hope we can get old(er) this way. Full of creativity. Joy. Fun. Love. Health.

Gotta add btw... Ingo had a bow tie and cummerbund in my dress's color! He lost the cummerbund in the cab :-( And changed the tie for the pic. Bah.
