GUEST APPEARANCE in 1998:

DAS KLEINE GESPENST by Otfried Preußler)(CD Karussel 07314 5544882)

(a spoken word CD)

Ein harmloses kleines Nachtgespenst
Die Sache mit Torsenson
Reden wir nicht von Tageslicht
Fehlschläge
Fast ein Wunder
Schatten und Sonne
Im Brunnenschacht
Wohin führt der Geheimgang
Der schwarze Unbekannte geht um
Verzierungen
Vorsicht, Herr Bürgermeister
Die Schweden kommen!
Katzenjammer
Wieder Mondschein
