Well, by myself I’m singing the whole day long. So I thought that it won’t be a problem and agreed to sing a duet. I learned the words, rehearsed the song.
Sorry! I forgot to explain: I don’t hear very well. In fact I hear very bad. It should become a problem.
Never in my life did I sing so badly as in the studio with Johnny Schwarzinger.
But Johnny? He was so calm, so sure that we will get there eventually.
As a small present I gave him a chapbook with my poems and he liked them and had the idea for me to read one around his song.
Together with his music it became a wonderful mix and I’m very happy and say many thanks to Johnny! He is truly a great singer/songwriter. Uli Sajko

The Base feat. Gerald Ganglbauer

[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj5wtDXpma8&w=560&h=315]

Norbert Wally from The Base and I connected immediately six years ago at a Postgarage Graz concert on January, 19, 2013. It was a late discovery – the Indie band was founded back in 1989, the same year I had left for Australia and lost touch with Graz. So I reviewed their tenth album „Secret Second Thoughts“, and some more new releases since. Singing alongside such a great voice was an honor and a challenge, but fun in the end. I dig this song, because I can fully subscribe to the lyrics, and the tune doesn’t get out of your head. Gerald Ganglbauer

Filmed on a trip to Vienna across the Semmering some weeks ago in January 2019. I was driving at constant speed, thanks to cruise control. The tunnels had some hypnotic or psychedelic affect on me and suit this song perfectly. Spring and the Land agreed and approved the clip. Gerald Ganglbauer

Red Light Blue Light

Parkinson duet performed by Joerg Veselka and Connie Weixler
Words and music by Joerg Veselka

Red light blue light is shining, shining through the night
Red light blue light, I’m crawling, I’m crawling, on the floor
Red light blue light, I’m hoping, yeah I’m hoping to see you again
Red light blue light, I’m crying, yeah I’m crying, I miss you so

Life’s unpredictable, incomprehensible incredible, unimpossible
Life’s unpredictable, incomprehensible, yeah incredible, unimpossible – without you

Red light blue light is shining, shining – through the night
Red light blue light, I’m crawling, crawling – on the floor
Red light blue light, I’m hoping, hoping – to see you again
Red light blue light, I’m crying, crying, I miss you so

Life’s unpredictable, incomprehensible, incredible, unimpossible without you
Life’s unpredictable, incomprehensible, oh incredible, unimpossible – without you

Red light blue light is shining, shining – through the night
Red light blue light, I’m crawling, I’m crawling – on the floor
Red light blue light, I’m hoping, yeah I’m hoping – to see you again
Red light blue light, I’m crying, yeah I’m crying, I miss you so

Life’s unpredictable, hmmm incomprehensible, hmmm incredible, unimpossible without you
Life’s unpredictable, incomprehensible, hmmm incredible, unimpossible – without you
Hmmm, Hmmm, life’s unimpossible – without you

 

Wasn’t I the One

Parkinson duet performed by Jacques Bush and Gerald Ganglbauer
Words and music by Jacques Bush/Marino Acapulco

Spring and I - 1
Gerald Ganglbauer, Jacques Bush, Marino Acapulco

You treat me well, but I don’t mind.
From the well the plight is coming … coming bad.
I sit and watch the hours,
Wonder if I’ll ever make it home … so tired of hanging.

You treat me well but I don’t mind.
You think your every wish is my command.
Once I was waiting for the fame,
But things ain’t never what they seem to be.

When I wake up, I feel homeless,
Wasn’t I the one?
Understood and punished all the way.

You treat me well, but I don’t mind.
From the well the plight is coming … coming bad.
I sit and watch the hours,
Wonder if I’ll ever make it home.

When I wake up, I feel homeless,
Wasn’t I the one?
Understood and punished all the way.

So long, hey! Do I know
Wasn’t I the one.

I drank the whole week away
Give me everything to be …

When I wake up, I feel homeless
Wasn’t I the one …
So misunderstood who’s found where he belongs …

Apparently Michael J Fox performed a duet with the great Paul Simon, but unfortunately none of them responded to my enquiries. The only proof is in the picture above, found somewhere on the Fox Foundation’s website without the music. A pity, because I would have loved to listen to them singing together. Could it perhaps go on Volume 2 of Parkinsong Duets?
