Happy New Year Paetzel & Travisan performed to an appreciative crowd throughout the New Years party at the Cleveland Mannerchor.
The food, beer and music was a fantastic way to bring in the New Year 2010! Gerhard and Willie performed all of the track off of their CD, In The Country, as well as several more country classics. Their performance also included several more selections from their upcoming release of shanty selections to be available some time later on this year.
A Klabautermann is a water sprite who assists sailors and fishermen on the Sea in their duties. He is a merry and diligent creature, with an expert understanding of most watercraft, and an unsupressable musical talent. He also rescues sailors washed overboard. The name comes from the Low German verb klabastern meaning "rumble" or "make a noise".
