Those polkas, waltzes and marches had been the musical foundation of our band in the early years. Robert is playing tearjerkers so incredibly beautiful, that you go all dewy-eyed simply by thinking about it. With soooo much melodiousness and sooo much vibe. Contrary to Thomas, Robert doesn’t move much around on stage, instead bringing his countenance to bear all the more.
