singin' songs- Inga Rumpf

Inga Rumpf was born August 2, 1946, the daughter of a
German seaman and an East Prussian seamstress in
Hamburg. As a four-year-old, she warbled out her first song
at the kitchen table, "Das ist die Liebe der Matrosen" by a
famous German actor/singer Hans Albers, who lived a few
doors away from her home. A cigar box strung with rubber
bands served as Inga's primary musical instrument for some
years. At age 12, she found a guitar from her parents under
the family Christmas tree. Soon Inga found herself listening
to Elvis Presley, long before it was considered cool. She also
played music with her friends and performed in a St. Pauli
youth home blues group.
