They had there big annual town market festival on the weekend just past here in Darmstadt. Lots of stalls with all the usual hand made hobby arts as well as a lot of baubels and trinkets.
The food stands offered a wide array of traditional German foods in the form of huge bratwursts and pudding type sausages as well as the endless arrays of continental bakery produce.
The big carousel was a real Magic Roundabout type of affair with the organ pipe music blaring out so loud that most of the kiddies were only screaming because they couldn’t hear themselves anymore and thought they had gone permenantly deaf. ( ``Hey Mum!, Hey Dad!, I’m not screaming with laughter and joy this really hurts you idiots and I’m getting really dizzy as well !!!)
They had the buskers out and about and most of them seem to have a piano accordion strapped on. Some of the gypsy traditional stuff is O.K. but the rest sounds like Happy Hammond Hour at the Sunset Hills Home for the Musically Bereft.
