May Day | ,,Tanz in den Reinhardt Mey?”
Mayday Mayday we're going down
Tanz in den Mai! Dance into May! The first of May is a day of celebration, and a day, upon which, if you are a German in America you might not want your significant other being alone in Germany and going to festive parties with other single people. On the first of May a common tradition is raising the maypole, a towering symbol of the celebration of fertility. Related topics include Walpurgisnacht and May Day.
Do you celebrate May Day – do you dance into May?
It’s a big day for parties in Germany. Here in America it is not widely celebrated, although the expression “May Day, May Day,” has become associated with a pilot going down.
Also, this May 1st, 2011, brings us news that Osama Bin Laden is now dead. What say ye? Was sagt ihr dazu?
Disclaimer: ,,Tanz in den Mai” is of course not to be confused with ,,Tanz in den (Reinhardt) Mey.”
Reinhardt Mey is the author of that good ol’ campfire song, “Über den Wolken.” The above video will teach you how to play “Über den Wolken” using basic guitar chords. For Skype Lessons on Guitar | Piano in English or German, you can check out my other site Fret Zero Guitar – there are also some free guitar lesson videos there.
What a great song and a great lesson to play along. Gitarre-TV is a good site.
