みどりみどりみどり濃く
子らさわぎ　鳥むらがり
みな沈む　みどりの底

Dark green.
Children play in the greenery and birds flock to the greenery.
Everyone sinks to the bottom of the green.

Poverty
The "Schwabengehen", which finds its first mentions already in the 16th and 17th century, experienced its peak in the 19th century. It is estimated that at that time five to six thousand children worked annually on farms abroad as herd boys, maids or as farmhands. The background to this was the extremely low soil yields in the alpine regions and the associated poverty, which drove parents to send one or more of their numerous children abroad.

The Ways
The ways from Tyrol and Vorarlberg or from Switzerland to Upper Swabia were long and arduous. For some of the children, most of whom were between 5 and 14 years old, it led over mountain passes such as the Arlberg, which were usually still covered in snow in March and which many had to overcome with poor shoes and scanty clothing. Usually their companion was an adult, sometimes a priest, who made sure along the way that the children could settle down to sleep in warm stables and who negotiated prices at the markets. The construction of the Arlberg railroad in 1884 made the journey easier for the Tyrolean children.

The "children's markets" in Upper Swabia usually took place around Josephi (March 19). At Simon and Juda (end of October) or at the latest at Martini (November 11) they went back home. In the luggage were then the so-called "Doppelt Häs" (a double set of clothes from the headgear to the footwear) and, depending on the age and the negotiated price, a few guilders.

The Hütekinder arrived at the port of Friedrichshafen by ship from Bregenz. Since 1891, the central market place for the Hütekinder was in Karlstraße in Friedrichshafen. The children who were not placed traveled by train to Ravensburg to be placed there.

The work
In their homeland, Swabian children were exempted from compulsory schooling every year, and in the Kingdom of Württemberg the compulsory schooling that had existed there since 1836 did not apply to foreign children. The politically repeatedly demanded extension of compulsory schooling was prevented until 1921 by an Upper Swabian farmers' lobby.

Music and Lyrics by Michael Weber (Christofferson Weber)

Acoustic Guitar & Vocals by Michael Weber
Congo Drums by Jeff Foster
Electric Guitar, Bass, Morroca, Backing Vocals by Michael Walker (Screach) 
Mixed and Mastered on a $99 Fostex 8 Track by The Screach Himself using mostly luck and imagination... 

We live in a very small world people. So small that I can hear the music coming from bedrooms and basements all over the world. It's familiar and friendly to me. I feel like we have all met before. I wonder if we met in previous lives...I hope so! 

I had the sincere pleasure of really feeling the Sound Cloud Gift come full circle. Michael Weber (Christofferson Weber) reached out to me via sound cloud to let me know he was going to be coming through Montana where I live and wanted to meet. Furthermore he was doing shows in Montana while he was here and asked me to play with him at a small art museum in Anaconda, MT not too far from my home - So, I did. We had a marvelous time at a marvelous venue. We played into the morning hours around a camp fire after and made great new friends. We ate and drank and enjoyed the alpine lakes of Montana together the next day. Our families met, our children met, we formed lasting friendships! What a SC Gift! It doesn't get any more rewarding! Money Cant buy Love! We just have to accept it and foster it and pour it on each other! 

This song is a Michael Weber original! Michael plays it and sings it with the relaxed confident feel I love so much. Jeff Foster lays down the Bongo tracks that keeps the song popping. It was a pleasure for me to put down some guitar licks, backing vocals, a little Moroccan Percussion and some Bass then mixing it on the Fostex to gain a live feel. I had to record Michael's base tracks into my cheap recorder by placing a mic near a cheap stereo I played the CD through off of SC - then build around that track. So, I apologize for the tint of sounds  - it cant be as warm as it could be but it does somewhat lend to the live feel - You don't have to have loads of really expensive equipment to record a decent song - just go for it and use the tools you have in your cave! 

We hope you enjoy!

Find Our Way Home

Hey there little sleeping beauty
Know that you’ve been torn
When everything that
You’ve grown up with
Has grown so worn

A thousand hearts
Out on the open water
Have sailed upon these seas
When you’re feeling
The weight of the world, love
Just let go please

‘Cause it’s gonna get better
If we try
And you don’t need to worry
Your sweet eyes
Yeah it’s gonna get better
If we try
To find our way home

So where do we go from here
Well that we can’t know
There’s one thing
We can be sure of
That we control

We take care of one another
In all that we do
And one day
We’ll wake to find that
Our dreams do come true
                               

Find Our Way Home - Collab w/ Christofferson Weber &  Jeff Forrest

This is a Michael Weber (Christofferson Weber) Tune written and performed by Cam-O-The Chameleon himself. Screach added a few slices of guitar and backing vocal to a already perfect tune and splashed in just a few drops of Harmonica & Percussion towards the end...

We both hope you enjoy!
