Many years ago, a traveling musician was a common sight. People always knew who to call when a gathering deserved the sound of an instrument. The musician was a respected profession, sometimes even considered sacred. And it’s true that no joyful or sorrowful moment in life went by without music. Instruments were taken along both to the battlefield and to the ship’s deck, not to mention birthdays and weddings. Old songs often carried a sense of longing for home and loved ones.

Unfortunately, times have changed, and many of these old tradition are slowly fading into oblivion. Nowadays, it often happens that people no longer know who or how to invite when the soul yearns for something authentic.

My wish is to keep this old tradition alive and offer moments that once brightened everyday life centuries ago – accompanied by storytelling and music.

I have collected unique stories, crafted my own bagpipes and harmonicas, and as I travel from village to village and harbor to harbor, I offer the opportunity for listeners to experience the mood of times long past.

The tunes I play are popular songs from the First and Second World War days, as well as songs sung by sailors of the sailing ship era.
 

If you, dear music lover, enjoy these old, simple yet beautiful tunes and wish to hear something from the past, please feel free to contact me!
