My son, Josef Winkelmayer Junior was born in Regensburg in 1978. I taught him to play the piano from the age of 6, and after the fourth grade I enrolled him in the Dòmspatz choir gymnasium in Regensburg, where he studied choir and also trained in the orchestra conservatory.
After graduating, he studied computer science at the university and then set up a recording studio in the south-eastern part of the building, where he worked as a sound engineer. He made many recordings with local orchestras and small choirs. He was very popular and had no time for boredom. He also played keyboards on the recordings of the people he worked for and played trumpet and guitar to everyone's great satisfaction.
One day, the members of the band Fleur de Lis got an American commission to make a CD and entrusted my son with the job. They worked day and night on the material, and after a few weeks the final recordings were sent to Los Angeles, and then the studio recordings came in, but the vocals had to be recorded again because of the heavy Bavarian accent, so they sent five plane tickets to L.A. to be tutored and the songs re-recorded. Then my son was killed in an unfortunate car accident, so the band flew to LA without him and set up shop in a Hollywood studio. The CD sold 3,000 copies, which is rare because in America the rock music called German Krautrock does not have such success.My son Josef Winkelmayer Junior was born in Regensburg, Germany in 1978.
