Another Great (German) musician!

Saw this post https://steemit.com/music/@german-trail/german-musicians-edition-1-electronic-music by @german-trail and as being new to Steemit was amazed by the German community.

However, this inspired me to give you one of my favourite German musicians, even though I'm not a musician myself but just want to share this artists with an audience that may not have heard of him yet. Plus, being from North Rhine-Westphalia myself he brings people from that region a feeling of belonging like no other artist.

I am talking about HERBERT GROENEMEYER. One in a lifetime. He manages to bring people together and give them an identity, which is particularly notable given the fact that there is no national identity with Germans as there is with, let's say, Americans.

JUST LOOK AT THIS PIECE OF ART WHICH IS DEDICATED TO A SEEMINGLY UNREMARKABLE CITY IN WETSERN GERMANY!

Look at the people's reactions... This gives me goosebumps whenever I watch it.

And the best part of it all is, when he took piano lessons and wanted to start singing his piano teacher told him that he should stick to playing the piano because he cannot sing. I'm glad Herbert didn't listen to him! He may not be the best singer indeed, but everything he does comes straight from his heart! Please go and listen to his other songs even if you don't understand the language. It's well worth the time.

Btw, I recommend someone making a post about Marius Mueller Westernhagen, another one of the German all time greats. Maybe another Ruhrpott-Steemian?
