Flasher on the Rhein, aka Jetzt trink´n ma noch a Flascherl Wein

This song sounds modern to me. It was written by Conrad Lorenz, 1851-1909. I love this energetic performance, which has been stuck in my head for days:

The German version is not about a flasher or the Rhein, it's “Let’s drink another bottle of wine”, with lyrics about drinking and dancing till early in the morning. I think of my former band-mate Henry, who enjoyed life and drinking and dancing up to his 100th year!

Happy Oktoberfest everybody! I would love to hear a band like this in person, but today I will settle for this YouTube version!
