Well in Wisnewskis case it may be more about his hatred for the USA than about money.
So I understand. He seems to have a reputation for anti-American polemics. Not that there's anything wrong with criticizing the American government, but criticism can either be based in fact or else in a fervent desire to portray the subject in poor light at all costs. Wisnewski seems to fall into the latter category.
If the need arises we could always translate that.
Martina does excellent work, doesn't she? I think we should probably translate into English at least what she has written so far. Then when the book is released we can add to it as necessary.
Where in Bavaria do you live? I gave some concerts there about 10 years ago: in the Wieskirche and at the abbey in Ettal. The latter was poorly attended because our agent had the misfortune to schedule our performance at the same time as an important football match. We stayed in a lovely little hotel in Oberammergau -- of interest to this group as the town in which Wernher von Braun and his team agreed to surrender to the Allies. I have a nice set of woodcarving tools I purchased there, back when you could transport on an airliner anything sharper than a bowling ball.
