Feller & Feller (February 26, 2005 & November 26, 2005)
Date broadcast: February 26, 2005 & November 26, 2005)
We interviewed Hansi of the singing Duo Feller & Feller twice for the Stimmung Stunde and visited him at his home in Ost Friesland. He even sang some Christmas songs he was composing for a new CD, right their in his kitchen. Also he took us to a chapel not far from his home that inspired him to write one of his popular songs. Hansi is a very talented composer and entertainer.

We had an interview with Rudy Giovannini in a charming Gasthaus in Sudtirol. It was fun sitting across the table from him and just discussing his many years as a singer. The highlight of his career was singing for Pope John. This interview took place before the Grand Prix where he did a duet with Belsy.

Lydia Huber was at the Milwaukee German Fest in 2005 for the 25th anniversary of German Fest. She entertained the fest goers with a variety of Volksmusik that made her famous. In 2006 when we were in Germany, we asked if we could have an interview with Lydia. She met as at the studios of Radio Melodie in Munich where she was working at the time. Radio Melodie closed a year later and is now on the internet as Heimat Melodie and a great place to listen to Volksmusik on the internet.

I met Joakin Stuffer at the Marc Pircher Fest in 2004 in Austria and asked if I could have an interview with him. We set a date where I called him at his home in Sudtirol and we had a nice discussion about the songs he sings. His brother composes most of the songs they record and they are one of the few groups I interviewed who have a Fan Club-USA here in Oregon.
Peggy Mueller is a talented button box musician here in Milwaukee. She prides herself in playing only authentic Bavarian music. Her husband, Hansi, accompanies her on the "spoons". This fun loving couple enjoys playing music and bringing smiles to the faces of their audience.

Marc Pircher (August 21, 2004)
Marc Pircher was the 3rd interview I did for the Stimmung Stunde. He is a very energetic person on the stage and off. In 2005 we went to his Marc Pircher Fest in Austria and were able to see him in action on the stage. Then in 2006 we saw him perform in Blankenberg, Belgium. He has over 300 live performances a year. You have to have a lot of energy to keep up with his schedule. This was after he won the Grand Prix der Volksmusik in 2004 for his song "Hey Dirndl".

This was one of my favorite interviews. Semino definately had the Latin charm. It was rather interesting that we conducted this interview in German. Semino speaks German & Spanish and I speak German & English. So we were both using a forgein language to conduct this interview. We got this interview with Semino as his star was just starting to rise in the German Music field and has skyrocketed since then.
