I remember well the beginning of the road.
Nights of endless hours and long performances at the old "Hasem" club on the waterfront of Tel Aviv in the early 1980s.

what do I mean?
When John Lennon was asked what it was like to grow up in Liverpool, he replied: "Although I was a child in Liverpool, I really grew up in Hamburg."

Everyone needs their "Hamburg" to crystallize and mature.
There are really no shortcuts here.
Without these foundations, everything collapses at some point.
This song is also a little advice from an experienced person for those trying to skip their "Hamburg" on the way to the ears of all of us.
Danny Robs will perform on December 30th at Zappa Haifa, on January 13th at Gray in Modi'in, on January 20th at Zappa Tel Aviv, on February 10th at Gray in Yehud and on February 14th at Zappa Kerem Barkan.
