KARNEVAL.

We'll continue the run-up to our traditional launch of Fasching with noch ein Schnitzelbank, this one from Philadelphia.


The version tacks some Philadelphia local color on after the traditional (if you view the Maders poster as canonical) list of items.  That's absolutely fine: would you believe there is even a scholarly paper about the origin and style of Schnitzelbank songs, both in North America and in the German-speaking lands of Europe?  (Some of the exhibits are what the culture-studies types would call "problematic," if not worse, read at your own risk.)

Now head down by Wanamaker's where the streetcar bends the corner around and enjoy!
