It’s also Armistice Day, a national holiday in France, where we call it “the 11th of November”. The French are very clever that way. And what do they call Bastille Day?. That’s right, “the 14th of July”.
FYI:
In 1918, at the end of four years of World War I’s devastation, leaders negotiated for the guns in Europe to fall silent once and for all on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month. It was not technically the end of the war, which came with the Treaty of Versailles. Leaders signed that treaty on June 28, 1919, five years to the day after the assassination of Austrian Archduke Franz Ferdinand set off the conflict. But the armistice declared on November 11 held, and Armistice Day became popularly known as the day “The Great War,” which killed at least 40 million people, ended.

You know it took me all day long to realize why 11/11 was bass day.

Here in the Rhineland, 11.11. is the beginning of carnival season. Apparently, it started sometime in 1823. I currently live in the city where they invented “Fastelovend”, Thursday before Rose Monday.
Imagine the consternation of our Canadian guests from the University of New Brunswick when the whole city was like “Let’s drink and be merry” on “Armistice day”.

Karneval in Köln belongs on everyone’s bucket list. Back in my working days, I managed to arrange my travel to be in Köln for Karneval a couple of times. The only rule I remember is: no last names.

Yesterday my partner wanted to try my bass and I taught her “All the ducks go swim” on the A-string. Lots of fun!
