-------------------------------------------------------------- Bet (upon arriving): “Ahh, I love the smell of horse!” -------------------------------------------------------------- Anna (of the souvenir stand, after someone bought the
dirndl she was wearing): “She bought the clothes off my back!” -------------------------------------------------------------- Bet: “Bruce, has anyone offered to buy your lederhosen?” -------------------------------------------------------------- Eddie (sitting down in his chair):
“Burrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp!” -------------------------------------------------------------- Ed, to a little girl of about 4, onstage to
Chicken Dance: “And where do you live?” -------------------------------------------------------------- Seth: “Trying to get engineers in a party mood is like
trying to set fire to wet newspaper.” -------------------------------------------------------------- Ed to the crowd, explaining what Gemutlichkeit means: “In
other words, it means good food! Good beer! And GOOD MUSIC!” -------------------------------------------------------------- Ed, to audience: “This melody includes ‘Merry Is The Gypsy
Life.’” -------------------------------------------------------------- Bruce, after some particularly lethal toxic gas wiped out
the whole back row: “How can something so ugly be so beautiful?”
-------------------------------------------------------------- Bet, another week, before "Edelweiss": “Tim,
do you know the Sound of Music?” -------------------------------------------------------------- Bet:” I'm gonna bring some of MY friends up here one
night. Well, except I only have the one.” -------------------------------------------------------------- And two more that didn't happen on the mountain, but are submitted for your approval*: Bruce, as we were walking down his driveway, wondering aloud what the people in the passing car were saying: “Look, Grandma! Silly people!” Girl at Wendy's Drive-Thru the second straight Saturday
we'd pulled around, in full regalia, to pick up an order: “Hey, you guys
again!” -------------------------------------------------------------- And now, the Best Line of 2005! Ed [to the crowd, before Tom plays "Edelwiess": “I'm sure you all remember "The Sound
of Music." |

----------------------------------------------------- Seth’s response, after a woman exclaimed after hearing us play, "You guys are awesome!": “That's the first time anyone's ever said that to us while sober.” -------------------------------------------------------------- Seth: “The Sauerkraut Band is not for the emotionally constipated.” -------------------------------------------------------------- Ruth, observing Sara Beth's dessert, asked, “Does the pie come with the whipped cream on top of it like that?” Bet replied, “No. Sara Beth carries whipped cream with her at all times.” -------------------------------------------------------------- Seth: “We are the Ex-Lax of bands.” -------------------------------------------------------------- Ed, to Little girl: “And what's your favorite subject in school?” Little girl: “Reading.” Ed: “And who's your partner tonight?” Little girl: “I don't know.” Ed, pointing to the boy's name tag: “Can you read?” Little girl: “No.” -------------------------------------------------------------- Ed, to the audience: “What do Germans do during a waltz?” Bet: “Invade Poland!” -------------------------------------------------------------- Ed, introducing Skoda Lasky to the audience: “It's from Bohemia - does anyone know any Bohemian songs?” Eddie: "Bohemian Rhapsody!" Russell: As a matter of fact, we have a version of this that leads right into "Fat Bottomed Girls." -------------------------------------------------------------- Bet, schunkeling: “I can't stop schunkeling when the song ends.” Sara Beth: “You have PMS - Post Musical Schunkeling.” -------------------------------------------------------------- And now, the Best Line of 2004!

-------------------------------------------------------------- Asked of a young boy from the audience: "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Answer: "A hospital." -------------------------------------------------------------- Asked of a 30ish man from the audience: "What do you do for a living?" Answer: "I’m some kind of ologist." -------------------------------------------------------------- Just before kicking off the band to start one of our shows, Ed gave his pep talk: "Okay, let's have a great show tonight. We have a great audience and Seth can't feel his face!" -------------------------------------------------------------- After the band drank a full bottle of GoldSchlager, Russell commented, "The whole band smells like a pack of Dentyne!" -------------------------------------------------------------- After a short clash between Bruce and a guest trumpet player over some trumpetal hi-jinx, Kathy commented, "I can't understand why male clarinet players seem to have so many problems with trumpet players in the Sauerkraut Band." (Trumpet envy? Or could it be fear of permanent hearing loss?) -------------------------------------------------------------- And now, the Best Line of 2003! Just before the very last number of the very last performance, Elizabeth leaned over to the other clarinets and asked, "Do you think we need to tune?" -------------------------------------------------------------- | Home |
