We were pleasantly surprised when Mr. Chris Kruger, the only surviving member of this band, helped us with this valuable information.Christiaan Jacobus Phillippus Kruger was born on 26 June 1910, at Cookhouse. He worked on the railways as a loader, and was stationed at Germiston for many years. His two brothers, Jan and Willie, also worked on the railways in Germiston and that's where they met Jan Marais, the concertina player.The latter was also connected to the railways. They started making music and the band was composed as follows:Jan Marais : ConcertinaJan Kruger : GuitarChris Kruger : GuitarWillie (Baby) Kruger : BanjoBaby was also a singer and often performed with Dawid de Lange.Chris tells that he and Jan Marais later became brothers-in-law. They are married to two sisters.Jan first played with a two-row English concertina but later acquired a three-row. They often performed at dances, concerts and weddings and once won a country band competition in Springs' town hall. There were many other well-known bands that took part, but this group walked away with the laurels!==================================="Sarie Marais" (also known as "My Sarie Marais", Afrikaans pronunciation: [m?i s??ri mar?]) is a traditional South African folk song, created possibly during the First Anglo-Boer War (c. 1880) or (more likely) the Second Anglo-Boer War (ca. 1900). The tune was possibly taken from a song dating back from the American Civil War called "Carry me back to Tennessee" or "Sweet Ellie Rhee" with the words roughly translated into Afrikaans.In the English translation, the song begins: "My Sarie Marais is so far from my heart but I hope to see her again. She lived near the Mooi River before this war began..."; and the chorus is: "Oh, take me back to the old Transvaal, there where my Sarie lives, down there among the maize fields near the green thorn tree, there lives my Sarie Marais." It continues about the fear of being removed far, "over the sea" (in fact, of the 28,000 Boer men taken prisoner by the ruling British authorities, over 25,000 were transported overseas).As well as becoming very well known in South Africa, the song was taken up by various people, organizations and singers in other countries.Origins of the songThe origins of the song are unclear. One version of the story refers to the American folk song Ellie Rhee, written in 1865 by Septimus Winner (1827–1902) and included in a book entitled "The Cavendish Song Album". The other version of origins the song refers to Polish socialist song Gdy Naród do Boju(pl.wiki) (alternative title - Szlachta 1831), written in 1835 by Gustaw Ehrenberg. Music for this song was composed by Fryderyk Chopin in 1848.An account on the National Anthems forum supports J.P. Toerien as author and his wife Sarie Maré as the subject of the song. It too suggests the song's origins go back to Sweet Ellie Rhee. The claim is that this song was sung by Americans working in the Transvaal gold mines, and heard there by Afrikaans journalist and poet Jacobus Petrus Toerien, who re-wrote the song in Afrikaans, replacing the name of Ellie Rhee with that of his own beloved Sarie Maré (Susara Margaretha Maré).Another account is that the song dates from the First Anglo-Boer War (1880–1881). When Ella de Wet, wife of General Louis Botha's military attaché Nicolaas Jacobus de Wet came to the battle front to see her husband she often played on the piano while the nearby burghers sang songs from the Cavendish album. The burghers supposedly wanted to honour their field chaplain Dominee Paul Nel, who often told stories around the campfires about his childhood and his beautiful mother Sarie Maré, who died young.Whatever its origins, the song changed and got more verses as time went on. This accounts for the reference to the Kakies (af) (or khakis), as the Boers called the British soldiers during the Second Anglo-Boer War. They were known as Rooibaadjies ("red coats") during the First Anglo-Boer War.Later spread and influence of the songThe song quickly spread due to soldiers coming back from the South African Boer War. The melody was adopted in 1953 as the official march of the United Kingdom's Commandos and is played after the Regimental March on ceremonial occasions. The French École militaire interarmes also sings the song, in its French translation. The song has been sung by Jim Reeves and Kenneth McKellar in Afrikaans.Sarie, Volksblad's sister magazine,[citation needed] was also named for her. Many hotels and apartment complexes are named after her. During the first international broadcast between South Africa, Britain, and America during the birthday of Mrs. Isie Smuts, the wife of the prime minister, General Jan Smuts, Sarie Marais was sung by Gracie Fields.[citation needed]During the Second World War, there was a unit of soldiers called "Sarie Marais calling".[citation needed] The South African army, as well as the French foreign legion, play this march during parades.It is also the official song of the Girl Guides of Sri Lanka ( Ceylon ) who heard the Boerekrygsgevangenes (af – Boer prisoners of war) performed it during the beginning of the 20th century. During the 1930s it was incorrectly played as South Africa's official national anthem. Germans cultivated a pink rose called Sarie Maries which is planted in the School of Armour in Tempe, Bloemfontein.Sarie Marais (1931): the first South African film with soundSarie Marais was also the title of the first South African talking picture, directed by Joseph Albrecht (af) and made in 1931. Filmed in Johannesburg, Sarie Marais manages to pack a lot into its 10-minute running time. Set in a British POW camp, the film concentrates on a group of Boer prisoners as they pass the time under the watchful eye of their British guards. One of the internees, played by Billy Mathews, lifts his voice in song with the popular Afrikaans patriotic tune "My Sarie Marais". His enthusiasm catches on with the other prisoners of war, giving them hope for the future.[1]Shortly after this film's release, a group of Afrikaner nationalists established a film production organisation called the Reddingsdaad-Bond-Amateur-Rolprent Organisasie (Rescue Action League Amateur Film Organisation), which rallied against British and American films pervading the country.Francis Coley directed a remake of this film, again titled Sarie Marais in 1949 (af).Sarie women's magazineThe contemporary Afrikaans women's magazine Sarie takes its name from this song. Originally entitled Sarie Marais – a name which at the time (1949) of its first publication was synonymous with the idea of empowered Afrikaans womanhood – it was the first Afrikaans magazine to focus on the female market, with a content ranging from fashion, decor, and beauty to relationship advice and family planning. 1 More Great Records on sale right now: CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE MORE GREAT RECORDS CLICK ON THIS LINK TO SEE ALL ITEMS - VINTAGE BOOKS, VICTROLA and TURNTABLE ITEMS, CDs, Books and DVDs http://shop.ebay.com/carsten_sf/m.html ==== A Quick NOTE ON GRADING AND SHIPPING: As you can see from my feedback, I try hard to earn your POSITIVE FEEDBACK and FIVE STAR RATINGS.
