While cruising thro' YOU TUBE..........
I happened across an interesting video/audio clip of a German country music band.
The steel player is playing a bright blue EMMONS double ten.
If you think might enjoy hearing how it sounds in German, go to:

Thanks once again Stuart..........
For inserting the link for me. I do appreciate it.
That entire series of German Beer Hall performances is addictive to me, at least. I've enjoyed it immensely. |

| I noticed that too. Cool take on some country music, but it's "lip sync". Somehow not the same as "live" but still entertaining and some good pickin', whoever did it... |

I played a lot around Europe, Germany,Italy,Austria,Slovenia etc. and it was a wonderful experience, to play country music in Europe is very different feel than playing honky-tonks around US, I hope one day I could be back working European country music scene again...

In 1997 I was visiting with Scotty in St. Louis, and friend of mine from Berlin just bought a bright blue D-10 p/p Emmons from him, so I ended up bringing that guitar with me back to Europe, I think my friends last name was Achle, and I was a good friend with his brother Haiko who lived in Stuttgart, he maybe still there, he was with the band called "Silverwood", great guys, and wonderful musicians...

I liked the third band best, the ones in the green lederhosen.

Damir,
I think your friend from Berlin is "Sievert Ahrends". Some years ago he went back to Ostfriesland where he was born. I know this blue Emmons because Sievert offered it to me. My black Emmons is also from him.

Damir, I met Achle in Holland years ago. He was a good player and a funny guy.
