"sung by Topol from the movie Fiddler on the roof 1971"
As the title said "When I was a rich man" this is what it's all about. Wealth with a big "W".
Again on my trip through the streets of Amsterdam. As I said before, a couple of days ago, in the 17th century we (Holland) had a Golden Age. ( like more countries in Europe). Discoveries of other countries, trade and more trade. With this more wealth. And the Rich did (do) the show that they are rich. Beautiful houses were build. One of the things you can see the "Wealth" of those (most traders) men is the stairs in front of the house. How higher, bigger the more richer people were (at least that would people think when they saw such stairs)
And down in the cellar (like in the tv serie Üpstairs, downstairs) the servants had their quarters. Nowadays it's used as a (seperate) house or storage.
Hope you have a sunny day filled with love.
I off to work, after that I'll go to a local "cheese festival" to make some picture.
