"Er vertrieb sich sieben Jahre lang die Zeit hinter den Küchen verschiedener Musikkapellen, bevor er sich entschloss zwei Schritte nach vorne zu tun um die Menus selber zu schreiben und das Publikum direkt am Mikrofon zu bedienen. Doch wie man nunmal weiss und schon alte Volksweisheiten besagen: Einmal Drummer, immer Drummer. Darum, und weils Spass macht, schwingt er auch heute noch die Stöcke für die post-retro-surf-emo-polka-rockabilly'n roll Combo "Dirk Dollar".
Neben einem stetig wachsenden eigenen Repertoire gräbt er oft und gerne in der Rumpelkammer, denn Songs und Melodien zu interpretieren war ihm die beste Schule und ist eine Leidenschaft, die weiterhin liebevoll gepflegt wird.
Viel zu dem, was er tut, zu sagen fällt ihm schwer, denn oft weiss er es selbst nicht so ganz genau.
Meine Wenigkeit, als Schreiber dieser Zeilen, fand diesen Abschluss höchst unfair, da ich bis anhin lediglich 34 Wörter über das eigentliche Thema zusammenhatte. Er erwiderte, dies sei nun mal so, worauf ich protestierte, er jedoch lachte nur gemein.
Mir wurde das ganze zu bunt und nach einem kleinen Handgemenge konnte ich ihm zumindest Geständnisse wie "..den Schmerz der Welt zu tragen und lindern um das eigene bluten zu stoppen..." oder "...um Geschichten zu erzählen, Welten zu erschaffen und Bilder zu singen..." entringen."

"Seven years he spent treating pots and lids for various entertainement orchestras, before he decided to take two steps forward as to write the menus by himself and to serve the audience directly by the microphone. But, as it is well known and confirmed by many an old saying: once a drummer, always a drummer. And for this it is (and for the inevitable sake of fun, presumably) that he is still to be found wielding sticks for the post-retro-surf-emo-polka-rockabilly'n roll combo "Dirk Dollar".
Aside from a steadily growing repertoire of his own, he often and gladly rakes around in the limbo, because to interprete songs and melodies served him as the most potent way of learning and grew to be a well tended passion.
He finds some difficulty though in bespeaking his whereabouts and doings as his motives remain misty and puzzling even to himself.
My humble self, as the writer of these lines, percieved this early and rather cheapish conclusion as an utmost unfair move, because by now I had merely gathered 44 words dealing with the actual subject. He retortet that this would be the way things are, whereupon I rose a hue and a cry but all he gave me was a vile laugh.
I had quite enough of this and after a clarifying little melee he finally felt inclined to reveal some of his thoughts, such as "...to bear and to sooth this worlds pain in order to cease my own bleeding..." or "...to tell stories, to create worlds and to sing pictures..."."

Annotation by the Administrators: The man who translated the lines above into english pretends to be a Roman-Bernese secondo from Basle near Riehen who listens to the name Gion, but we don't believe him. He's got a crooked nose and obviously reads to many Robert Rankin novels. We take no responsibility for any grammatical crimes committed.
...And how lovely to meet your happy-drummer (and rather huggable) self.
Your singing sound is most swell too. May our voices entwine at some point. I think that would be pretty. Otherwise you can just beat my songs up with your sticks.
Warmth to you. And thank-you for a fine gig, and a fine evening. You guys were a joy, and man - just so damn sympathisch. Genuinely. I like.
