SAN FRANCISCO via MIESAU, GERMANY
Lee Heidhues 7.22.2025
It was long ago when we were living in the quiet beautiful German countryside. Nearby were the German woods and the American military at the Miesau Army Depot.
The first Black Sabbath album came out in those days and with our old record player we listened to this classic LP frequently. It set the perfect mood for the dark and beautiful German countryside.
It has stayed with me forever.
Ozzy Osbourne undoubtedly went on to great commercial success at many levels.
It was the first album, listened to in the incongruous setting of the German countryside and the American military which has stayed with me for over 50 years.
Liz and I returned to Miesau in 2017. We weren’t listening to Black Sabbath but the memories were definitely on my mind.
