Axel Schmierer: "When I was 19 years old Robert Högn, Heinz Reinschlüssel and I decided to form a band – making my music. I had a lot of stuff and I think it was Heinz who knew Beate Krause and so we visited her one day and she agreed to sing in our band. She was 16 – but had a beautiful, strong voice. Jürgen Kolb followed joining the band. I had a book from Walt Whitman – and the poetry “A carol of harvest” was exactly what I wanted to say……….. a song of the good green grass ….. We got a wonderful place to make music – a very large building out in the green, where we could be loud – no neighborhood."
