May they rest in peace.
wie schade…so jung
For anyone wondering, the Joe Zawinul Music School is in Gumpoldskirchen, Austria, located about 30 kilometers southwest of Vienna.
RIP, Mr. Berry.
A gorgeous place, which I visited in 2011 when living in Vienna.
He had a strange upbringing. According to Ludwig’s autobiography, she had a selection of different whistles she would use to tell him what she wanted in order to protect her singing voice. He was raised mostly by his grandmother, also a former singer. He mentioned in an interview how unhappy his childhood was as he almost never saw his mother.
Sadly it was like that in those days.
Mqy they all rest in peace.
Like so much modern so-called parenting, very sadly.
You are proof that the old ways are not necessarily the best ways.
