An American musician in exile in Cologne
My friend Olaf, from Berlin, is a psychologist, but he has been coming with us to Croatia for about 5 years because he loves it too. He loves explaining things, especially to his son Moritz. I love these pictures that tell a whole story.
"Where are you from?" the Germans ask me. Hard to say-- born in Michigan, but grew up in Missouri, South Carolina, Colorado, Nebraska, California, North Dakota. But REALLY grew up only after going to Europe. Bummed around London for 7 years (Camberwell, Shepherds Bush, Notting Hill Gate, Palmers Green, Golders Green, Westminster) and spent long periods of playing the violin and teaching in various places, mostly England and France, then ended up in Germany. Life remains very interesting.
