Drag Down The Winterwind

Hi there,

this one is the combination of my two favourite passions songwriting and air war enthusiasm, featuring some of the model kits, that have survived the last 15 years in the attic:



Cheers,

Michael

Greetings Michael,

While I no longer have audio ( It Went South! ), I did enjoy your visual art here.

Best Wishes, Jay aka FOKKERJ

Hi Jay,

intriguingly, when salvaging the box from the attic, the best-preserved aircraft was MvR's Albatros. That was the same plane, with which my WW1 aviation enthusiasm began 20 years ago...
I passed it on to my father, who revarnished it and hanged it above his new Carrera race track. Then he wrote me an eMail with this photo attached stating "At last, our honourable Manfred von Richthofen is circling above the race course in Wustermark and gurantees a race course free of hostile activity !"

Cheers,

Michael

Oh, don't worry. The Baron himself ordered the helicopter in case he has another encounter with the FE2d of Donald Cunnell and Albert Woodbridge !

Hello Barry,

yes, I wrote the lyrics (& music). It is a principle of my band not to record cover versions.
Today is my church-wedding and it's raining cats & dogs in Brandenburg !
However, being together with my Constanze means sunshine 24/7

Cheers,

Michael

Thanks a lot,

it was a very moving and delightful party.
Dancing, drinking, singing, carriage-a-rolling, laughing, swimming in the lake Beetz, binge eating, fireworking...

Best greetings from the Brandenburg bridal pair,

Michael & Constanze
