Ezio,
We all wish you the best in recovery. Nothing too serious I hope. Rest, recover and rejoin us when you can.
Thanks Wolfgang for two interesting sites. That's a fascinating story. BTW I ran across a plethora of German folksong sites from a children's site:

check out the links page. I've already sent her the DT URL.
Wolfgang, have you ever run across a fellow from Germany (yeah, I know there are a lot of people there, but I might as well ask) named Joseph Gregor? In the 70s I ran across him leading a hootnanny in a hostel and joined a bunch of folkies who had collected the songs he taught them. They had stacks 3ft high!
