Through the Past, Woggly

There are times in one’s life when certain music takes on an added importance. A song heard only once may stick in your mind for years, giving it a meaning that is unique to you and perhaps those around you who shared the experience. When was an undergrad at Stanford University in 1972, I spent six months on their overseas campus on a small hill, covered with a vineyard, overlooking Beutelsbach, Germany. We only had a few albums with us, and they tended to get played over and over: the Grateful Dead’s American Beauty, the Rolling Stones’ Sticky Fingers, Cat Stevens’ Tea for the Tillerman, Jefferson Airplane’s Bark, and albums by Derek & the Dominoes and John Denver are the ones I remember. Thus in honor of those days I’ve concocted two woggings sets, one faster (Schneller) and one slower (Langsamer). This week’s Weekly Wog is the faster one, but I’ve posted both. Check it out...und Viel Glück (good luck)!
