Subject: RE: German Folk- and Blues-Singers
Roy, it seems every folkie who has ever been to Germany (well, not so much in recent years) has stroies to tell about Willy Schwenken. I met him a couple of times (I'm just a punter, not an artiste), and he seemed rather strange to me. For instance, he must have been the only person on the German folk scene who addressed you as "Sie", not "Du". But his shop in Nottuln contained the most amazing treasures. I own an album by Wally Whyton which I bought there.
