PS:
Hier gib es eine obskure Single aus seiner Anfangszeit (links klicken)
und hier seine Aktivitäten vor 1970 (links klicken).

Ich kann nur staunen,

Gerd begibt sich in die 70er!!!???

Hier ist er als Zausel, dann auch mit Willie Nelson und sogar
im Duett mit dem legendären "Wabash Cannonball". Halt: 'written
bei Leon Russell'? Also doch ein anderer Song......
