    Me too! Marek Weber does a great repatoire of 20-30's danz(dance)Music. 
A facinating viriety of OOmpa to Waltz stuff, and considering the backround 
,of Germany's decent into hell, the Hitler Years, Music to build V-2's and 
Jet planes,U-boats, and early attempts at nuclear weapons,by. Guyz on here 
guided me to a CD of Marek Weber's stuff, He MUST have done more than on the 
German CD? It would be interesting to see an English translation of the 
songs. Radio Dismuke plays alot of his stuff, too.I, too, have some of his 
stuff on 78's

    Seeya
