Window Concerts – a beautiful idea from Italy, which was hit hard by Corona. We are happy to contribute to this idea online. Our 23rd greeting goes once again to England. To a country that is gifted with a great music scene, especially in popular music: Beatles, Pink Floyd, Stones, Queen, Led Zeppelin, Genesis, Radiohead, Police & Sting, Sex Pistols, Oasis, Coldplay, Amy Winehouse, the whole rich culture of the musical theatres of London's West End, and so on... Jakob Collier, just 25 years old, has already won a Grammy Award for the best instrumental album and is an extremely flexible multi-instrumentalist, who made a name for himself at first with his self-produced cover videos of famous pop songs (all instruments played by himself!), but now composes beautiful songs himself. His characteristic singing, which spans many octaves, is outstanding and he also likes to use polyphonic vocal movements. The roots lie in his parental home: as the son of two musicians, Bach chorales were celebrated at home at an early age.

'Make me cry' was also chosen for its title: it is so incredibly sad how the cultural and event scene (and not only this one!) is fighting for survival in times of pandemic and how big concerts will probably not be possible in the long run. And how many people have already been taken by covid-19 far too early! Let's hope that the latest news from international vaccine research will prove to be a real breakthrough. In addition to the numerous countries, that have been struggling with very high infection and death rates for a long time (above all the USA, Brazil & India), the fear of the 2nd wave and the associated suffering is growing in several countries.

Greetings from Germany. Stay safe and healthy!

Simply recorded with my iPad in front of our balcony door and a clip-on stereo microphone. Have fun!
