On April 23, the Local Tourist and his Mrs. took a long, long overdue trip to the Dakota Inn Rathskeller, a German restaurant in Detroit. It has been there since the 1930's and serves fantastic food. There is a piano (it looks like it had been a pipe organ at one time) and a man came in to play for us. He took requests, and I offered up, "In Heaven There Is No Beer." I sang along with gusto.
Here are some photos.
I’m not familiar with that song. Where can I find it—or will you sing it for me sometime?
ReplyDeleteOk…I just clicked on the link and heard it!
ReplyDeleteThis has been a favorite of ours since the late 70’s when we first frequented this establishment as members of the German Cultural Club. We have probably not been there in the past ten years, so this is a great reminder for us to return and enjoy the German gemülichkeit of this place.
