All Keyed Up!
There's a part of Vienna which is called Breitensee, and
this small part of town has a certain feeling about it that makes it
feel different and special. And, this certain feeling has all to do
with the people who live there. And, one of those who contribute to
this uniqueness of spirit is Mr. Hans Paigl. And, the reason is
clear. He has that which everyone wants. He has music - he plays the
piano, and, he is good!
Eight years ago, Hans started his monthly musical
evenings in a very small corner Gasthaus, and, within just a very
short space of time he had to move down the road to a much bigger
place! Too many were coming and the reason was simple.
Hans has a heart made of music! At a very young age he
was already brilliant, and all that he wanted was a key board
profession. But, it was just after the war and it wasn't to be.
Fate had decided that engineering was his, and, so it was, that he
went into big business. But, there were to be no regrets! For
music has always stayed with him!
He had bands, he played when-ever he could, and he
jammed where-ever he landed. And, with his success in the markets
increasing - so did his music. And, when the right time came, he
stepped back into his own world of rhythm and notes and started his
musical evenings.
And, Hans knows how
to make people happy. His music, whether jazz, lounge, classic or
folk has a vitalizing captivating energy all of its own and provides
just the right balance to get people through till the next evening
comes! And Hans, where does he get his balance from? When he's not
playing piano he's laying down tracks! His model railway is second
to none, and for him this is natural! Little engines, too, have a
rhythm in their whistle, and, what could be better? There's melody
and life in all that Hans does!
