Father, yes. For example - my father - it is possible that he was related to Ignaz Brüll. My father had a very good voice. In the summer we often used to go for walks. In the forest he - after everything was nicely tidy - made a small fire.. and he baked potatoes. And he also went to a farmer - ..my cousin, before he died, he did it in New York, I saw that. Father was a very musical person, and he fought for - he was a fighter for justice. ..My father.. he often put the carpet beater on the table. But he never.. hit me or anything. That never happened. Only once, I - with a - he was bald - and I hit him on the head with the carpet beater and said: "Father, it's two o'clock - off to work!" He woke up and chased me because he was very angry. But otherwise he was very musical. Especially - I remember - I admire Wagner.. That has nothing to do with .. what's his name - with Hitler. He also liked the Meistersinger.It is such wonderful music. I really.. - how do you say? - got the feeling for it. And father - explained Tannhäuser to me. And.. my father was very fair.. For example, if Ilse or.. if we received something, took a bigger piece he said: "One of you divides it in two and the other chooses." You see. That way we weren't able to cheat. And I walked with him and we sang and so on. And grandfather, Michael Brüll, supposedly had a beautiful voice. They wanted him at the opera house - but he also had a business in Bozen, a furniture store. Sadly, I only had my father for a very short time. Because - he died then. I went away in 1939 and he - he died in 1941.
