Since you write new lyrics to the songs, you're always able to add your own touch to them. But why take his tenth best song? (laughs) Of course it is a great undertaking to play his biggest hit. So I simply wanted to pay homage to this guy. Jambalaya was his first number one in September 1952, the year I was born, I came into the world two months later, Williams died on 31st January 1953. You have recorded oft-covered traditionals such as Amazing Grace and Hank Williams' country classic Jambalaya on the Bayou for Federn. If he just tells a few of the stories of things he experienced here, we'll be a step further forward. It was all completely different from the way he imagined. After the concerts in the autumn Steve Fishell said that he'd never played such a cool tour. These people are returning to America with a story. Another American musician is joining us, Bob Bernstein. For now we're going on tour with the songs. I found friends over there, like the pedal steel guitarist Steve Fishell, a musician with a clear American identity, who had the courage to come over last year to perform with me. I hope that I'm only in the middle of the task that I've set myself. The Americans really don't understand what's going on over here. This lack of understanding for the politics is also reciprocated. For people over there Europe is like a historical Disneyland. What shocked me the most was the prevailing feeling that there's nothing beyond the United States that's worth being interested in. As far as my feelings about this country are concerned, the ones I wanted to dispel - that completely backfired. But I now know a good bit more about what's going on over there. I don't imagine that I've now understood America. That's why I went where the most pain was: to the Bible belt, the southern states. I thought, I can counter this, not just for me personally, but beyond too, developing a mutual understanding in which we can do something together. I suddenly felt that this general rejection of the United States had encroached upon me. In a few light moments, and that includes the ones in which I'm writing songs, I feel my own inadequacy. I don't like saying 'them', I prefer to use the first person, because I feel included among them.

But it also centres on the cowardice of each individual. The lyrics criticise Europe for not offering Snowden asylum. That's why I dedicated this song to them. But there are of course lots of really great moments and wonderful people who have become big in the United States and don't carry this embarrassing politics with them that's leading the whole world into chaos and leaving scorched earth behind them. I experienced a lot of disappointments on my research trip for this project. What does this say about your relationship with the United States? Snowdown, the first song of the album, is a homage to Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden, who made information about the US military and the country's espionage trainees public. In conversation with Peter Disch he talks about why. His hopes that the USA would be less foreign to him after his trip were dashed though. The result is his new album deeply shaped by blues and country. In 2013 the 62-year-old Austrian went to Nashville and New Orleans to play with US musicians. Hubert von Goisern's alpine rock music lives on the exchange with other cultures. The resulting album 'Federn' and his image of America.

(I'm also not clear if there's anything I should do, other than installing the latest PiCorePlayer, to update the firmware on the Raspberry Pi 3B itself.Badische Zeitung 9th May 2015 | Text: Peter Disch | Photo: Wolfgang GrabherrīZ INTERVIEW: Hubert von Goisern talks about his journey to the American south, I'd love to add IR support as well, but I confess I'm unclear about the best way to do this within the simplified PiCorePlayer environment.

(Ok, it's upside-down until you enable Jivelite and specify 0 rotation.) The only notable update I'd offer to those instructions is that there's no need to scan your network to find the device - the IP address is plainly visible on the display from the beginning. I also added the optional (deeper) back to neaten things up a bit this required drilling a couple of holes for the audio connections. pretty closely, only I used the Touch 2 case and a Raspberry Pi 3B+ with a HiFiBerry DAC+Pro. I followed HOWTO: Building and Installing the Raspberry Pi 3 'Touch' Audio Streamer.

and now I have a working Raspberry Pi-based player using PiCorePlayer! Thanks everyone.
