Egon Egemann
Shownotes
Way before Alexander Rybak fiddled his way to victory, an Austrian guy brandishing a white violin represented Switzerland with a song about his love for his instrument. The song was allegedly written by his Swiss wife, but was that really entirely true?
In this episode with Egon Egemann we will finally learn the true origin story of the melodic masterpiece "Musik klingt in die Welt hinaus", as well as numerous other facts and stories about his career and life. How come he went for a solo career in the first place, when he was having so much success with the huge Austrian band Die Paldauer? What can he tell us about the contest in a crumbling Yugoslavia? What was his role in the disqualified Swiss winner from 1992, "Soleil, Soleil"? What made him participate again behind Gunvor Guggisberg and what was that like? How many more times has he tried out for the contest, is he really a singer and what does he do today?
