Austria! That country which produced such fine singers as Tony Wegas, Jimmy Makulis and Natália Kelly. OK, so I exaggerate a little. But they have given us some fine songs in their time. And, for some of you, a certain innkeeper’s son who beat all the opposition on Copenhagen. So when this birthday came up (it’s not Tom Neuwirth by the way), I had to use it, as Gerhard ‘Gary’ Lux has been on a Eurovision stage no less than six times. Yes, count them – 1983, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1993 and 1995. Not many can beat that. Or can they? Gary is 57 today.
Alles Gute zum Geburtstag, Gary!
