RINGO AND KLAUS IN MUNICH
On 13th July, Ringo performed with his All Starr Band at Zirkus Krone in Munich. For many visitors, this performance brought back special memories since this was a location of THE BEATLES TOUR 1964 in Germany.The audience celebrated Ringo (who was simply outstanding and cheerful) and his fantastic band members.
Among the audience were Klaus and his wife Christina and their kids Ruscha and Maxi. Before his performance, Ringo had invited the whole Voormann-Family to his dressing room, and Klaus brought a very special gift for his old friend – a self made sculpture: Ringo’s hand with his typical finger position, the peace sign.

GEORGE IN THE OCEAN OF WAVING GRASS
The last time I saw George was in summer 2001. He invited me to come to Austria where he stayed at Gerhard Berger’s house in Going. Even though all these cancer therapies had left their marks, behind his hearty laugh and his bright eyes one would have never suspected a seriously ill man.
We were having a break after a walk, resting in the grass when suddenly he looked at me and said: “Do you know that it has taken me many, many years until I realised how special these meadows with their soft grasses are to me? Somehow I feel we have a very close relationship. I just love the seemingly endless meadows with their long and soft grasses and the waves they make when the wind is blowing. It’s like cherishing the wind of life rather than struggling against it all the time.
So, Klaus, when I'm gone, all you have to do is stand in a meadow, feel the waving grass and I will be close to you.”
