My uncle wept openly whenever he heard this song. As a young American soldier stationed in Germany after WWII, he met a local girl and fell in love with her. Her parents refused to let her marry him. Many years later (2003), he learned that he had a son living in Germany. My uncle traveled to Germany every year thereafter to visit his son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. Sadly, he and his Fraulein have departed the bounds of Earth in mortal life. Thanks for your wonderful rendition!

I sang together with and older friend who had fought in the Battle of the Bulge and came home teach high school German. Our. Chorus sings old songs in German. My friend was in a home and remembered almost nothing! Then I decided to to sing “so ein Tag”.,.”such a day”- a beautiful song that end with a phrase in Deutsch that we never know when we will meet again. Bob lit up and joined me word for word! I told his Daughter that I would gather some of our singer to the folks at the home with Bob. Then came the Covid and our second visit was impossible. It was almost two years before we could have a concert at Teutonia Männerchor honoring Bob and others who passed. And yes we sang So Ein Tag!

Nicely done! An outstanding performance by all. One of my favorite songs of all time, "Fraulein", was written by Lawton 'Slim' Williams. It peaked at #1 for Bobby Helms in 1957, it has been called "the Texas national anthem" due to its popularity here. Williams also wrote the country music classics "Farewell Party" and "Everything's Okay on the LBJ". Lawton pinned several top ten hits for other artists, "Geisha Girl" reached #4 in 1957 for Hank Locklin, "Color Of The Blues", co-written with George Jones, peaked at #10 in 1958 for Jones. "I'll Always Be Your Fraulein" (an answer song to "Fraulein"), co-written with Roy Botkin and Wally Jarvis, was a #10 hit in 1961 for Kitty Wells. "PT-109" was a 1962 hit by Jimmy Dean, about the combat service of President John F. Kennedy and his crew, it peaked at #3 on the Country charts and #2 on the Adult Contemporary chart. In 1962 "Shame On Me", peaked at #18 for Bobby Bare. Lawton Williams passed in 2007 and was interred at Laurel Land Memorial Park in Fort Worth, Texas.

Love such a swabian Fräulein from east of the Rhein myself 😊. Now I have 2 german sons 😂 and a still gorgeous wife 😊 and the best mother I could get for my sons 😅. Only her cleaning obsession sometimes gets on my nerves. 😢 When I was a young lad who just quit the barracks I thought my German Fräulein would not become like the others. Error 😮 ! She exaggerates her tidy-up-the-whole-house-obsession to the point to even throw away things which are fully functioning, not defect, nor broken. 😢 Hard to bear, such a tough lady, but on the other hand she still fascinates me 😂 . Probably swabian Fräuleins have a highly addictive potential 😮, but instead of warning us from that, our superiors only warned us from smoking grass, 😢 not from touching a swabian Fräulein... 😮 Now if it's my destiny to die on the eastern side of the Rhein, I expect it to happen in winter... 😊 😊 😊

Now *that* is a high tenor voice! He can hit those high, lonesome notes and really hold 'em. I'm only a layman, but that much is clear to me. And while I certainly appreciate Scruggs-style banjo playing, it seems to me that hyper-speed is often substituted for rhythm and "feel" of the song. This group played and sang this song with patience, beauty, and old-school Bluegrass soul. Bravo!
