    My instrumental interpretation of this popular German song, originally recorded in 1934 by The Comedian Harmonists (a wildly popular interwar close harmony group). This is their best-known song.

    Based on a leadsheet by Barbara Haider, from Musescore:

    Great! Certainly not easy to replace six human voices with one mandolin and a piano with a tenor guitar. You did it successful, Martin.

    Thanks, Frithjof. I wanted to try it out when I saw the lead sheet but wasn't at all certain that tune would work on mandolin. Turns out it's good fun, with a nice 1930s period charm, especially on the Vinaccia.
