Life on the farm By Dieter Krieg
Too bad my brother and I never
had a manager for our musical
talents. At one nme we had the best
rock band going in all of Woodbine,
including the suburbs. Un
fortunately, nobody ever heard the
fantastic music except our mother.
We played nearly every evening
when the milking was done and Dad

had disappeared to the comfort of a
living room chair to watch the
Huntley-Brmkley news show.
Ingo and i were'way ahead o f our
time with the kind of stuff we played
and the way we conducted ourselves
during the performance. We were
the ones who invented wild music.
It all began with the clanging and

banging of milking machine parts,
buckets, strainers, lids, a stripcup,
and sometimes even the cats’ milk
dish. Add to that the sounds of
splashing water, a few slams against
the stainless steel tub, some
drumming action on overturned
buckets and a few special effects
from the large lids of the bulk tank,
and you had a really wild show.
The performance went best during
the Summer, but the cold of Winter
was okay too. The mam difference
was that we wouldn’t get ourselves
soaking wet with all that action.
Our poor mother gave us the most
fun out of the entire show. When
she’d come walking into the milk
house from the calf barn on the other
side of the barn yard, she’d in
variably ask loudly if we had gone
completely crazy. We’d smile
mischievously and raise the volume
just a little. Mom was always glad to
be on her way back to the calves,
leaving us with the impression that
she thought we were worthless. But
occasionally we’d catch a twinkle in
Ps9§
her eye that said she loved us for our
crazy behavior.
The beat went on. The lids of
buckets were cymbals which clanged
loudly, and the swirling of a brush in
water became a symphony in itself.
Before long, all the milking
equipment was stacked on the drying
rack, the plugs were pulled out of the
washtubs and the sounds of water
splashing on the floor provided the
closing notes of the grand per
formance. A couple bucketfuls of
water tossed around the milk house
'floor accented the closing moments.
Back then it was just to have a little
fun, and tease Mom while going
about the routine chores'in the milk
house after the evening milking. But
I still say, had we videotaped and
recorded our performances, Ingo and.
I could be collecting royalties to this
day. We were wilder and wetter than
any bunch you've seen or heard on
radio or television. All we lacked was
long hair, and we could have found
some extra baler twine to take care
of that.
