Some Videos:
Watch me play La Voix Qui M'Accompagne (in English: The Voice which accompanies me). This video was recorded at my gig in Mannheim on 14th March 2007. What I am saying as an introduction is:
"Well, I wrote the next song for a French musician, who I admire a geat deal, Francis Cabrel. He's probably more well-known in France than over here. However his voice has been accompanying me for several years, so I thought I'd write this songs for him: La Voix Qui M'Accompagne"
Enjoy!
Here are two more videos from my last gig at the Tikk in Heidelberg, Petite Valse d'Amour and Kleines Wort , Enjoy!
