about…THE BERLIN WALTZ
While attending a film festival screening in Berlin, Lloyd stayed at the tallest residential building created in the former East Germany.
“I was standing by these incredibly thin windows, and listened to the noisy S-Bahn train rattle along the tracks fourteen stories below. I wondered if I’d get any sleep. That’s how the Berlin Waltz song came to me, from an East Berliner’s point of view - behind the Berlin Wall. And what they might have lived through.”
Exhibits at the STASI administrative headquarters and the Hohenschönhausen Remand Prison brought home the misery that true believers bring to neighbors, friends and even their own family
members.

Yamaha Silent Guitar caught the eyes of soon to be friends and
actors…seen here filming with Fine Schmidt and Thorolf Bergeler
