Heb’s Guet (Take Care)

While standing at the cash register in my old home Switzerland, the song “Heb’s Guet”, from the Swiss band Plüsh, came on. After a few days of music making in Switzerland,  it seems Glarnerland was saying goodbye to me. The song says basically, “take care and hold me in your heart. Whatever comes,  believe in yourself, don’t doubt. And when you’re at a loss, think of me”. I had to hold back the tears. Leaving the place/friends/family I’ve held dear for 17 years is never easy. But it’s a natural part of this journey we call life. People come, go, die, move away, return and occasionally drop off our radar forever. We can only hope that the time we spend with those we love leaves a lasting impression and the solid knowledge of that love.

Weeeeellll, the Tibiz gig did take place this time. But if you read the Blick (Switzerland’s answer to the Enquirer) you know that Tanja Dankner didn’t make it because of virus du jour H1N1. Still, with Nubya subbing for her and Hedreich previewing songs from her upcoming CD, a good time was definitely had by all. Hedreich.com’s Simon Gisler was even on hand with a mike in his hand! And on the home front, barring any major illnesses or minor ones requiring mass quarantine, this Sunday will see the 11th annual concert of the Inspirational Singers in the Netstal Protestant Church at 5PM. The concert come to be known in Glarnerland as the start of the Advent season. In case you don’t make it, stop back by next week to get the details! In the mean time, we’ll leave a light on for ya…
