Doktor Scheibe

Talking about nutrition…Also available in a slow swing version. For more information and booking: jugbandcm@pibinko.org or whatsapp +393317539228

Dottore non mi sento molto bene, sarà da un giorno oppure forse tre
lo stomaco è preso in catene, faccio fatica a digerire un tè

amico mio, mi parli della sua alimentazione
quello che mangia, a pranzo, cena e pure a colazione

se mette tutto in fila qualcosa di sospetto apparirà


Dottore sa che forse lei ha ragione, non mangio bene ed è la verità
io son frutto di una generazione, che del cibo non vede la qualità
lei va al mercato, è sempre a cercare l’occasione
ma con l’offerta oltre al risparmio c’è l’indigestione

e quel che avanza lo reinveste in medicine in farmacia

Dottore a questo punto l’ho capito, non lo prometto ma ci proverò
con l’orto il sale il pane e il grano antico, un modo per cambiare io ce l’ho

quel che le manca è fare il primo passo per uscire
da quel sistema che ha contribuito a costruire

via butti i piatti pronti, cominci a zappare e si vedrà
Doctor, I’m not feeling too well..it’s been one day, may be three
My stomach feels in chains, I can hardly digest tea

Dear friend, why don’t you tell me about you what your diet
What you eat, for lunch, dinner, and breakfast
if you connect the dots something suspicious is bound to show up

Doctor, you know, maybe you are right, I don’t eat well, and that’s the truth
I am the child of a generation that does not care about food quality
You go to the market, always looking for the deal
with the the offer, together with the discount you get and indigestion
and whatever you save is spent at the pharmacy


Doctor, at this point I got it, I don’t promise, but I will try
With a garden, some salt and the ancient wheat, I do have a way to change

What you are missing, is the first step to get out
from the system that you contributed to build
come on, trash the take-away food, start digging, and we will see

The Brezel Tour in Germany: wrapping it up

After providing daily highlights during the mission, as a wrap-up we prefer to just add a few snapshots, together with the acknowledgements to those who made the tour possible: Huober Brezel, Alt Krone Hoheneck, Waldheim Backnang bei Vesna and the bowling friends, Tatti Stay and See, Format D, Azienda San Lorenzo, Sorgman X and our supporters with the Brezel Tour T-shirts.

We have recorded all of the events and we have extracted a few videos…if you go through the “News” section of our site, it’s all there.

If you are in Southern Tuscany, also please note the next gig for the 2023 Brezel Tour 2023: Saturday July 15 in Monterotondo Marittimo at the Eretico Festival. We will be on stage from 3.40PM to 4.10PM (but you should come earlier and leave later, so you can check out also the other acts).
