MY BIOGRAPHY FROM 1969 TO 70's

Again in July 1970 after a very good winter season, the owner of the "Blumenthal Hotel and Resort" asked my agency (SFM) to hired my band from July to August. 
I was really glad about it because not only the band was treated  so well when we played there, but also because the owner hired my band again for the summer season.


New outfit (Swiss Yodel Style)

One time weekly, was the Yodel Party at "The Blumenthal Hotel & Resort" and to show that I wasn't ashamed to wear this jacket I asked the Band leader from the Yodel Group to give me i until the end of the night, he did it and he was proud of it.

Do I'm so short?

No Yodel jacket this time because the hotel was high class and the club was one of the best in the Amden area Switzerland.

Murren had every Year a Mountain Party, which we were invited in. The atmosphere was great, and friendly. The food, drink and dessert was incredible. So if you want to gain weight go there!

Murren is like a family.  Drink & Enjoy it.


An other place which was in winter very touristic. It was the village of Amden. It was bigger than Murren but interesting to be there and see different people and style.
