@Sweetsound - Thankyou for that information - Yes I suspected I had posted "Hubert' before . . . apologies!! I loved the shot of the elderly men smoking pipe and chatting . . .
- I can guess you did not have an easy life, but who has from that generation who survived the war (and their children)?
To mirror what you experienced, I was 'sent' after the war (as a 6-year old!) to a place in Carinthia, near the Slovenian border to stay with total strangers, a farming family - for an entire summer - and the experiences there, became great memories, I even wrote a short essay about it.
Many many years later I was doing a radio program for the local Austrians and tried to find a 'spring' song and found the village in the title of a song about spring, and then realised the music group was named after one of their sons, who had had severe eye problems (he was almost blind) and who had become a musician. I got in touch with them that evening and we have visited one another; their children here, I made one visit over there - another one is due, The good news about the 'blind' man is that he had an operation in his late 70s, and can now see - and until quite recently he was travelling the world. 'seeing' the world properly for the first time! Maybe I can find some of his 'Folk' music - - they were part-Slovenian, but behaved very local - as so many are and do in that part of the world. One of the family became a Jazz musician. Below a link to some of H. Miklin's playing, incomplete (sorry) snippets of folk music on his button accordeon!
