Meanwhile, in the Austrian Room, Herr Schnauzerhausen was
launching into
the eleventh hour of Wagner's Ring Cylce
transcribed for accordian. 'The Ring Cyle is seldon performed
in its
entirely on the accordian," noted Lulu Wozzeck, hostess of
the
Austrian Room. "Das Rheingold is perfomed
on concertina
now and then, and you hear the occassional kalimba Sigried,
but
Der Ring des Nibelungen in its entirely, well, that' something
you get only in the Austrian
Room. Fourteen hours of Wagners,
with all the schnitzel and sausage you can eat. Genieße das Leben
ständig!
Du bist länger tot als lebendig!"
