I remember the fun times when we sat for hours singing and playing and yodelling. I have chosen some of them and I am sure they will bring back happy memories to you also. Sing along.

Christmas is a happy, peaceful and joyous time. On Christmas Zither I have a mixture of everything. Some English, some German. Three of my own compositions.

Oh what fun!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Instrumental and songs Happy Mother's Day has 18 heartfelt Zither, guitar and vocal recordings which includes a new original composition written by Lotte especially for Mother. ‘Sit back and relax’ is the motto to my Mother’s Day recording. I didn’t go overboard with all Mama songs but picked a few old melodies that we never hear anymore. Some sung in German, some in English. My own fun composition ‘Mama in the kitchen’ sounds just like Mama chopping away and hammering the schnitzel - guten appetit!
