When I was a boy my parents had an LP record by Bert Kaempfert. He was a German band leader who was quite popular in the 1960s. They liked it! One particular tune that I can remember distinctly was a jaunty little melody called ‘A walk in the Black Forest’ and inspired by the tune that is exactly what we have done several times..

Bert Kaempfert ! Now you’re talking. The André Rieu of his day. Music for Pleasure. Do you remember them? Covers of all the latest hits.

I used to get him mixed up with Herb Alpert but I’ve probably spelled that wrong. They should have called The Forest of Dean the Black Forest!

We spent 10 days in the Black Forest town of Triberg in 2016 where I see you also have been. We love staying in Germany!
