Well, hell, if we’re going to stray on the subject of the German language:

P.S.: I will always treasure that Tex-Deutsch accent.

Straying from the topic a bit, but (to me) you can't have much more fun with German than this:

Hey Clayton, 

 

Now that I can hear again (and by the way,  I'm getting a second cochlear so sometime in October I will officially become  a person with normal hearing) I have been trying to re-learn German. 

 

As part of my quest  I'm going back to Berlin in about two weeks to visit Am Heggawinkle,  the street where I grew up, and to visit the Berliner Ensemble to pay hommage to Heiner Muller with whom I worked on his play Mauser when he was in Texas. 

 

 If I can get the hang of the language again, let's brainstorm together and make up a variant of it just for Winedale!

 

One more thing-- I'm in London now and due to have tea soon with Gail Palermo McDonald!   If anyone else is due to be in London between now and June 18th please let  me know. We can meet for a pint and work on that dialect.

love, 

Terry

One of my greatest Winedale memories is the big group of local folks singing German songs to welcome us, at Ronnie's bbq the first evening, under the big oak tree…
