SWISS- AND ANCIENT-MARINERS - BASEL, 20th of AUGUST 2011

A late summer night in 2011. Excellent conditions for an evet of special class!

The old trees in the schoolyard from "Clara-School" were the rigth frame for a common concert of the fife-corps Swiss- and Ancient-Mariners in Basel.
The program was filled with american drum and fife music, chanties and irish music. The Ancient Mariners from Guilford (Connecticut) are part of this event since 1982. A stron band of friendship is connecting the two corps - an example that music connects people all over the world . As guest musican with the fife and as fluteplayer of the chanty-group I was on stage with a lot of old and new friends.
