Disco with DJ Ras Claude at monastery Disentis Fri, 02-July-1993. To celebration the final of the examination for the general qualification for university entrance. By invitation of one of the teachers.
I will never forget this great one. Or better two events. But first comes first.
My brothers friend Livius who is teacher at the Collegi Disentis in Grisons at that time. He invited me to play outdoor in the park of the monastery for his pupils.
I’m very fit and take my records on the back of my bicycle to drive from Luzern to Disentis.
Just to illustrate the distance and topography. Yes I’m very fit in 1993.
That same evening, I prepare myself for the Discothek in the park of the monastery. The pupils bring a lot of their CDs. Mixed with my personal records I have enough to bring a dance.
A legendary moment. A monk is dancing to Antonio Vivaldi.
In the newspaper from the pupils it is written down.
But I’m also a Punk-DJ. And it comes, that the police is arriving some moments after midnight to ask for silence. Oh yes, Disentis is not ready yet for late-night parties.
After that drive and the first Discothek in the Lindenpark I can sleep at Livius’ room (he is the philosophy teacher at that time). The next day after breakfast with the whole Collegi (a residential secondary school inside the monastery, some teachers are monks). I take my bicycle to drive uphill to Lukmanier Pass. Enjoying the beautiful view and the fresh air. I play a second set that evening. And again, the police shot down after midnight. But as it’s written in the news, the pupils found a secret place to celebrate even longer.
