Bad Nauheim
is the perfect place to bring body, mind and soul into harmony.
Bad Nauheim, only half an hour's ride by train away from Frankfurt.
Art nouveau and Elvis, and as the name Bad already indicates,
it is a spa town as well.
Already at the station you can enjoy some decoration.
Walk through the Sprudelhof and enjoy the art.
Art deco, Jugendstil, just name ist.
Just walk through the park to find the ELVIS-PRESLEY-PLATZ.
To be honest, I did expect a bit bigger square.
This is the hotel Grünewald.
In October 1958, Elvis Presley arrived in Friedberg by train, Bad Nauheim's
neighbouring town, where he was to do his military service. Just a week later,
the singer's father, grandmother, and two friends as well as bodyguards also
turned up. The "Elvis clan" rented an entire floor in the Hotel Grunewald in
Bad Nauheim. Room no. 10 - the “Elvis-Room” - has been preserved in its
original state until today.
Right next to the Hotel Grunewald, the "Elvis stele",
a column on the Elvis Presley Square, today pays tribute to the King.
It has become a real "pilgrimage" destination for his fans, who place flowers
and leave messages in all languages of the world to commemorate their idol.
Elvis stayed in Bad Nauheim for two years.
This is how the memorial looks like in winter with less tourists,
should once check this memorial in summer, too.
This is the rives Usa (not USA).
Elvis once (!) was photographed at that river,
so this is one of the hot spots on your Elvis-tour.
Germans love their "Vereine", like clubs.
So feel free to join the Elvis Presley Verein in Bad Nauheim!
Oder mindestens schau rein, es ist immer was los:
My Elvis safari suddenly was stopped as I bumped into these ladies:
Die eine konzentriert sich auf abstrakte Kunstwerke, die andere fertigt ihre mit der
Motorsäge an. So unterschiedlich die Stilrichtungen der beiden Künstlerinnen
Petra Reissmann und Bianca Thater
auch sind, ihre erste gemeinsame Ausstellung spiegelt zugleich
eine Harmonie und Verbundenheit wider.
»Abstrakt trifft Skulptur«
lautet der Titel der Ausstellung.
Bianca worked on Tamara last year in Uferkunst.
Valentine's Day! The kiss.
This exhibition runs until 28.2.19.
Check this detail ...
... it gets me to the next important lady in town ...
... who covers her head the similar way:
Kaye-Ree!
On stage in a bar called SOUL4DRINKS.
A very cool cocktail bar.
But, a big but with a capital B:
The place was nicely crowded, but the crowd?
People kept on talking while Kaye-Ree was singing.
It seemed that they were not interested in the music,
they ore wanted to talk to their friends.
Why did they come and spoil the atmosphere in a concert?
Stupid, ignorant, selfish egoists. Really.
She did try to get the noise level down,
the audience could sing along, but ... did not really work out.
Next time go and hear her in a concert area,
not in a small town cocktail bar.
Ihre Songs schreibt Kaye-Ree alle selbst, sowohl mit ihrem langjährigen
Duo Partner und klassischen Gitarristen Felix Justen, als auch dem
Gitarristen und Produzenten Martin Loos. Ihre beiden Alben
“Endless Melody” und “New Air” sorgten auf dem deutschen,
italienischen und japanischen Markt für Furore, denn solche internationale
Soul Klänge ist man aus Deutschland nicht gewöhnt! (Facebook)
