I'm currently listening to the Schauorchester Ungelenk, which is a rarity … What they did - it is *extremely* hard to find *any* information about them - was a mix of humoristic covers, satire, own compositions, everything with "Satire" hanging above it.
I have heard only very few songs by Weird al Jancovic in the past, but I think that's what comes closest to what they did.
Their last album seems to have been an MP3 album only, and I don't buy that format, only CDs.
They have had their finest time in the 90s, and I'm currently their few CD albums mainly because a friend had liked them very much, and her death is now a year ago, so to say, and in a few days she would have had her birthday.
I just wanted to find out more about this "satire orchestra", and i must say that we had in this point quite the same taste.
I still don't know what had caused her death … All I had was the Cristmas Card i had sent to my friends - hers was coming back one day, solely with a printed notice of her funeral, no written lines, nothing. Apparently sent by her parents.
Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow I'll send a letter to her parents, expressing what i knew about her and why everybody liked her in the small HSP community we had been in.
