Hi Alex,

I remember first hearing Bob Dylan around 1963 and wondering who let him make a record. I was so accustomed to melodious pop singers, Bob was quite a shock to me. I never liked folk music all that much for precisely that reason. Folk music was much more the message than the singing. I also feel the same way about Joni Mitchell. I am not criticizing their style, song writing, message, or whatever makes them popular just the physical quality of their voices.

Hi Kevin,
what have you seen in Duderstadt? I know the Townname because there was the Omnibus starting (Firma) who made in 1985 the Travel to Norge, abd in 1987 to Camargue Naturstudienreisegesellschaft, there were many Ornitologdes in the Group, who shows to the Birds Hardanger Vidda, Dofre Fjell, Trondheim Island Runde, and only I saw a big Bird Regenbrachvogel with big Schnabel.

Here’s Google’s translation into English:

Zillertaler rags with Sigrid & Marina – Everything has two sides 2008

Well nananananana …
Well nananananana …

If you’re in the Alpine country at home
it is the music that plays is already ready
Sometimes it’s on Sunday in the costume
and celebrate with friends late into the night

But if you’ve been in there frequently in the city
stands on Austropop and Stromgitarr ‘
But sing no matter how all
if it’s honest, then it will sound

Everything has two sides, otherwise it would not be completely
Sometimes the last fight’s what you’d prefer
Hit or polka, yodeling, or pop
Everything has two sides, otherwise one goes out
We often play at the top of clear air
Alpine meadow in the middle of fragrance
then home to dinner, still so proud
so that it remains so …

We let ourselves in for a lot of things
and jump headfirst into life purely
But sing no matter how all
if it’s honest, then it will sound

Everything has two sides, otherwise it would not be completely
Sometimes the last fight’s what you’d prefer
Hit or polka, yodeling, or pop
Everything has two sides, otherwise one goes out

Everything has two sides (Everything has two sides),
otherwise it would not be complete (else’s would not be complete),
sometimes turning’s last fight (sometimes to’s last fight)
what you’d prefer (what you’d prefer)
Hit or Polka (hit or polka)
Yodel or pop
Everything has two sides,
otherwise, a goes.

And when I try to explain the very thing you just said about classic music to a few people of my acquaintance, they still refuse to open their mind. Happily that’s only a few people, and like you said classic/opera music will always be appreciated by people of all ages, so Hollie will never have to record any mainstream music if she doesn’t want to.

Hm. I would like her to continue in classics / opera style. There will always be people who will love that kind of music – including youngsters. Even in Bulgaria the concert halls are always overcrowded. Classical music is much more sophisticated, pleasant to listen to, interesting, dramatic, melodic etc, etc. There are no classical works that are ‘so dull and even that no-one would like to hum them’. The message of classical music is much more touching than that of the mass music.

The most successful mass music is rap and the likes of ‘Pitbull’ with his ‘I know you want me’ which I have already nominated for ‘the most giftless song’ award.

Personally, I would love to see her on the stage as Christine from the Phantom of the Opera. That’s something that would certainly make me fly to England again.

Zillertaler Haderlumpen mit Sigrid & Marina – Alles hat zwei Seiten 2008

All has 2 sites

Na nananananana …
Na nananananana …

Wenn man im Alpenland zu Hause ist
dann ist die Musik, die man spielt, schon fit
Manchmal geht’s am Sonntag in die Tracht
und feiert mit Freunden bis in die Nacht

Doch wenn man öfters in der Stadt drin war
steht man auf Austropop und Stromgitarr’
Aber egal wie alle singen
wenn’s ehrlich ist dann wird es klingen

Alles hat zwei Seiten, sonst wär’s nicht komplett
manchmal last sich’s streiten, was man lieber hätt
Schlager oder Polka, Jodler oder Pop
Alles hat zwei Seiten, sonst geht eine ab
Wir spielen oft oben in klarer Luft
mitten in Alpenblumenwiesenduft
dann auf die Heimatabend, noch so stolz
damit es so bleibt, …

Wir lassen uns auf viele Dinge ein
und springen kopfüber in’s Leben rein
Aber egal wie alle singen
wenn’s ehrlich ist dann wird es klingen

Alles hat zwei Seiten, sonst wär’s nicht komplett
manchmal last sich’s streiten, was man lieber hätt
Schlager oder Polka, Jodler oder Pop
Alles hat zwei Seiten, sonst geht eine ab

Alles hat zwei Seiten (Alles hat zwei Seiten),
sonst wär’s nicht komplett (sonst wär’s nicht komplett),
manchmal last sich’s streiten (manchmal last sich’s streiten),
was man lieber hätt (was man lieber hätt),
Schlager oder Polka (Schlager oder Polka),
Jodler oder Pop
Alles hat zwei Seiten,
sonst geht eine ab.

Wow! I believe you are the only one I know that thinks these artists have awful voices. Dylan’s isn’t ‘pretty’ but it’s wonderfully unique, and has earned him a comfortable and sustained career.

Key word is ‘sustained’. 40 years and still singing and producing new material. It is extremely rare for pop idols to remain relevant beyond last year’s fashions. I guess my point is, if Hollie wants to avoid a cookie-cutter career, then pop music should be avoided. A few, well-chosen songs, of course, just not as a career choice.

Just my two pence.
