"SOLINGEN - Rock City No. 1"

Solingen is a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. It is located on the
northern edge of the region called Bergisches Land, south of the Ruhr area,
and with a 2005 population of 162,685 is the second largest city in the
Bergisches Land. It is a member of the regional authority of the Rhineland.

Solingen is called the "City of Blades", since it has long been renowned for
the manufacturing of fine swords, knives, scissors and razors made by famous
firms such as DOVO Solingen, Wüsthof, J. A. Henckels, Boker, and numerous
other manufacturers. Wilkinson is also based here.

In Medieval times, the swordsmiths of Solingen coined the town's image, which
is preserved to this date. Some 90% of German knives are produced in Solingen.

the notes:

[] - indicates the original writer/composer

% - Billy introduced this song (after 'Mushu Creole Blues' 1-07) like this:
"cannot remember what we played before...'WhatEver We Played, We Played'..."
and i think this is an extremely cool song title..."WEWP, WP"...as the Canadian
poet Neil Percival Young once said: "It's all ONE song..."
If you know the correct song title (also for 'WEWP, WP' two to four), share
them in the comment section and maybe i'll find the time to change the artwork...


You can join this one also seamlessly, as there are no useless fades at
the end of #1-09. and the beginning of #2-01. Nothing was lost @ this cut.



the musicians:

Billy Cobham - drums, percussion
Peter Wölpl - guitar
Stefan Rademacher - bass
