German Drinking & Beer Garden Songs by The Barvarian BeesingersThis product is manufactured on demand using CD-R recordable media. Amazon.com's standard return policy will apply. Amazon.com The reason why German albums sold in North America are so often compilations of beer-drinking songs such as this compilation of 14 all-time favorites from the Bavarian Beer Singers is that drinking beer is very important in Germany. Not because the beer is so good, indeed a good reason per se, but because it is a venue to socialize and enjoy the company of other people. All Germans know most if not all of these songs by heart--from "Trink, Trink, Brüderlein Trink" to "Ein Prosit der Gemütlichkeit"--and they can evoke homesickness or nostalgia. The liner notes give these instructions "How to enjoy this album": Pour yourself a stein of beer. Turn on the compact disc. Sit down in a comfortable chair, take a sip of beer, close your eyes, and visualize the scene. They've got it almost right--this is really music to sing with other people, so after you pour your beer and put the CD on--sit down with a good friend or a few to enjoy. --Erik Macki
