I've been doing a quiz trying to link songs to the musical they first appeared in. Mostly it is going OK but this title doesn't even get a Google response. Is it a spelling mistake???Anyone know this. Lehar??

Alles gute.

Here (click) is the Wikipedia article on the Salzkammergut, the beautiful region east of Salzburg. Our tour bus took us through that area all too quickly last year, on our way from Salzburg to Vienna.

Thanks, guys. The only other one I'm stuck on is "In love". You can guess how many possibles that throws up!

..and the answer to my original query now I know the spelling is Stoltz' White Horse Inn and Lonnie definitely didn't record it!

Where's the Salzkammergut song, Roger?
I have a book called Show Tunes that might be able to help, if you give more information...
(or is that cheating?????)

If "Salzkammergut" means the song "Im Salzkammergut, da kammer (kann man) gut lustig sein..." that would be from Benatzky and not Lehar. The musical is "Im weissen Rössl am Wolfgangsee" whatever the English title may be.
