    Bayern should just have a picture of me and my wife Trude on their shirts, promoting the tantric sex thing. Or an advert for my new folk album, about northern England winter songs ... .or something like that. I forget what I'm 'into' at the moment. My last album was with medieval lutes n stuff. I think.

    Wonder why this never happened earlier, with the four rings being based in Munich and all. No-brainer of a deal.
