 2022-04-02 My new record of an old song (1963), my own words and music: "I long for you" https://youtu.be/LOfBWtPQdcs In 1963 I loved a pretty girl. She lived in the house opposite my office window. This fact inspired me to write the song. Unfortunately I had no chance to play it for her. One day I realized that I had no chance to gain her love and I wrote the other song 1963, my own words and music, too: "Kein Weg führt zurück" (There's no way back) https://youtu.be/LuQrmW2ANE0 2022-06-29 / 2022-09-29
