  1. In 1976 I went to see Roxy Music at the "Stadthalle Kuppelsaal" in Hannover, Germany, where I grew up. They were awesome. Full of anticipation for Bryan Ferry at al., I did not pay much attention to the opening act, Wire. Only recently I "rediscovered" them...

    Grobschnitt... Of course, I had heard their name, but I never could associate any specific type of music with them. I'll give it a try.

     

    I arrived at Family from the other side. In Germany in the mid-70s, Chapman and Whitney's follow-up band, the Streetwalkers, were quite popular. Of course, they were much more R&B/blues-oriented (which fitted Chappo's voice quite well).

  3. And now for something completely different... Don't be scared away by the setting - this is not classical music as you know it. If you have kids who are in band at school, they might have some special appreciation.

     

     

  4. I came to the US, specifically, to the University of Rochester as a postdoc in 1990, just when the Bills started their 4 years of fame. Everybody in the lab was so excited; but, watching the games, I had no clue what was going on. Over time, football and especially the Bills grew on me. I even managed to turn my son into a Bills fan, although he just was four when we moved from Rochester to Texas.
