Wirtshauslieder Workshop at Gaufest

At the 2015 Gaufest, Adam Levine from SV Alt Washingtonia taught a workshop on Wirtshauslieder.  Those who attended had a great time learning three different songs that are often sung among Trachtler and in the taverns and pubs in Bayern.  Vergelt’s Gott, Adam, for sharing your talents and enthusiasm!  Lyrics, music, and alternate lyrics to those taught are included at the following link: 2015 Gaufest Workshop Wirtshauslieder
