Es war der Sommer 68, es war der Sommer 69
This is just a part of my life which was very crucial and decisive for all what came thereafter ........the invasion of the Warsaw Pakt States have invaded and occupied a free country Czechoslovakia and violently suppressed a free democratic movement
in this song the clear influence of many good jazz guitarists is to be mentioned
Story behind the song
This is just a part of my life which was very crucial and decisive for all what came thereafter ........the invasion of the Warsaw Pakt States who have invaded and occupied a free country Czechoslovakia in Summer 1968 (August 21) and violently suppressed a free democratic movement called Socialism with Human Outlook /Design/Face. And this led us to emigrate to Germany another free and wonderful country under the Chancellor Willi Brandt who was the motivation for me to become later a member of the party of Social Democrats which until now are my homeland. And I am a very critical Social Democrat...I also am still party a communist because I shall never give up the original idea of Jesus about social freedom equality and tolerance between all humans (and animals LOL)....best wishes to all, who love this and to all who still are more like greedy people who want just their own advantage.
