Wilfried Mengs  -  Singer, songwriter, folksinger

To reproach people with a mirror, criticizing and affectionate. Texts of clever satire, a changing of emotions between  "easy listening" and "moving "pictures

Swinging, melodic guitar accompaniment attuned to the lyrics.

. Wilfried (Willie) Mengs - is a traveling musician, award winning songwriter and producer, who also runs his own record label. His songs have been heard over the air waves in Germany, the BBC in Great Britain, Romania and the USA.
