There are two kinds of funerals:
city and country funerals.
:32:10
When we play at country funerals,
:32:13
we see kettles smoking,
:32:15
pork, lambs turning on a spit.
Which means...a good lunch.
:32:22
Their soups were the tastiest.
:32:27
They never skimp on a funeral.
:32:30
Whatever price you say, they agree.
:32:32
But you can't charge too much
for 10-15 minutes of work.
:32:40
ln the city... it's like America.
You wear shades.
:32:42
''Good day, good day.''
No priest, no nothing.
:32:47
Speeches in front of the town hall.
:32:53
You play.
:32:54
The crypt is concrete. They close
the lid and everyone leaves.
:32:58
Sometimes they organize
a very modest lunch
:33:02
in some rented restaurant.
:33:05
But usually we don't attend them.
lt's modest, as l said.
:33:10
lt's not worth it.
You take your 20 DM and...
:33:16
You get used to it.
l cried in the beginning.
:33:19
lt's not easy going to funerals
every day. lt's not normal.
:33:23
l thought of quitting,
but you gotta make a living.
:33:28
lt used to be well paid.
:33:30
When you ask a peasant
how far the cemetery is,
:33:34
and he says 1 .5 kms,
you know it's twice as far.
:33:38
lt's a strain. To get back down
afterwards, we take
:33:42
a tractor, horse or wagon,
:33:43
depending on how they brought
the body.
:33:46
Then we put the tuba, drum and
heavier instruments on the wagon,
:33:51
climb on ourselves
and come back down.
:33:53
Then we wait for the priest to come
and light the candle,
:33:57
and then we can eat.
