<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Here are some other online samples of
spoken Low Saxon / Low German. This "youtube" thing is phantastic . The
number of samples is growing dayly.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">1. A Plautdietsch scoring of the "Wild Rover" called "Derche Kontinente"

<br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">2. "De Wind vun Hamborg" by Ina Müller (I think I've seen here before on TV, didn't know she's singing op Platt)
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Lyrics I tried to find on </span><a style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)" href="http://www.105music.com/ina/cm_standard_123/site/modules/index.php" target="_blank">

<br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">3.
And last but not least: "Fettes Brot" (A pretty well known pop-group in
the German speaking countries) are singing alternately in Low German,
German and English.</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">I think Low German is notedly fit for this kind of music, isn't it?
</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">Hah! I found the lyrics. On a swiss-german (!) page:</span><br style="font-family: arial,sans-serif;">

sassisch@yahoo.com</a>><br>Subject: Resources<br><br>Folks,<br><br>Here's an example of a relatively young performer regularly using Low Saxon <br>(Low German) in her work. It's Ina Müller (<a href="http://www.inamueller.de/">
http://www.inamueller.de</a>). She <br>was born and raised in Köhlen, near Cuxhaven, at the mouth of the Elbe <br>river.<br><br>Müller -- one half of the team Queen Bee, which apparently has now done its <br>last buzzing --integrates Low Saxon portions with her stand-up routines,
<br>most of which fall into the spoof category, spin her alleged everyday <br>experiences into far-away realms of absurdity (not unlike in the <br>Yiddish-rooted vaudeville comedy tradition). Her routines, like her <br>published writings, are delivered with large pinches of chutzpah and
<br>irreverence, oftentimes poking fun at men (and the women that aim to please <br>them) who haven't quite made it to the 21st century, especially as far as <br>women are concerned.<br><br>Anyway, at her website (page:
<a href="http://www.inamueller.de/platt_nachlesen.html">http://www.inamueller.de/platt_nachlesen.html</a>) <br>there's a written portion as well as a longish audio snippet from one of her <br>shows: "Platt is nich uncool":

</a> (MP3)<br><br>Notice (if you can) her code switching: German, almost-Missingsch and Low <br>Saxon. (Those of you who are new to this need to listen several times, <br>because the delivery is rather fast.)<br><br>Enjoy!
