THE MUSTANGS
When Udo Lindenberg saddled up his moped for the first time, he already rode the drum seat at the Mustangs, but the thing with the 50 cm³ stallion still had its pitfalls. Now one has to know that Udo, only 17 Lenze young, poured himself on the lamp in the evening - in Münster, in his favourite pub. And the way home to Hiltrup by taxi always cost him a small sum. So our ghost rider thought that he was going to be a little cheaper and bought just that mobile vehicle. He properly parked it in front of the pub, watered the light and left the potions to make his way home. "No, in the condition with the moped, don't do that," Udo said to himself, then went back to the pub, called for a last Jägermeister and the taxi. The next day, fresh as a sneaker, out of the house: "Oh, dear! The moped is in front of the pub. Taxi! By now at the latest, Udo knew he couldn't save any money in this way - unless he gave up the Jägermeister, but he wanted to treat himself to a little bit of what. But how did Udo get into the Mustangs in the first place? It's a long story, and as you know, it starts at the beginning.

The stallion of the Mustangs was a studiosus in Münster - Gerd Geerken. He had spent his time before the Mustangs in student dance bands that carried him as far as southern Germany and France. When '62 guitar-instrumentalbands like the Shadows and Ventures came over Germany, Gerd sensed the gap in the market - especially because as a first-class guitarist he was able to stand up to these groups. One of his guitar students, Steffi Stephan, recruited Gerd, who was almost ten years older, from the spot. In view of the lack of (local) bass guitarists, Charlie Brüggemann was persuaded to purchase a Höfner bass. The three of us - without drums - became active as a guitar band. Name: The Guitarmen. Stage debut: 23 June 1963 in the Catholic parish of Münster.

The dog was buried musically in Münster at that time, everything was quite civilised; just as it should be for a conservative city of civil servants, black as coal. Opposite the station, however, there was the oasis, a small pub. Their host had got wind of the guitars and offered them an engagement. Steffi was sorted out again by his single mother's standing foot because he was not yet 18. She feared trouble with the Youth Welfare Office if she allowed her minor Filius to do such frivolous things. So the guitars looked for a new rhythm guitarist, Thorsten Ehmke. And once a week they adorned the oasis as a pure instrumental band with eternally changing drummers.

For that time the guitars were exquisitely equipped, with Fender Stratocaster and Fender Jazzmaster. Geerken had come to the two guitars in France, at that time, still at the time of the dance band. He had exchanged the Stratocaster for a Höfner bass (plus a Höfner guitar as an encore) at an American GI, and bought the Jazzmaster from another GI for $250.

Student Gerd Geerken lived in the Kreuzviertel, directly opposite the vegetable shop Hagedorn. The owner's son had a good nose for business. He was just 19 when he set up a wholesale business: he bought at the wholesale market and supplied the retailers with the goods. Then he also discovered music as a potential source of money, and the musicians worked there after all, he only had to lean back and guard the cash register himself. In Emsdetten he rented a bankrupt pub, christened it Insel-Tanzcafé and booked the guitars. Now once the week Emsdetten stood in their diary. Then Hagedorn found what he was looking for in Münster, and a second island dance café was built. Also here a regular date was made for the guitars.

Musically the band had made good progress, and so in summer '64 they not only won a Pepsi-Cola-artist competition, they also made the Insel-Tanzcafé in Münster an attraction par excellence. The Guitarmen, now with vocals by Thorsten Ehmke and three alternating drummers, played there three days a week. Soon the first beat bands came to Münster, and a scene developed. Gerd Geerken: "Dieter 'Atta' Hagedorn then said to us: 'People, we have to do this professionally. We need a real singer and a permanent cast!' Then, of course, it started. Charlie Brüggemann did not want to give up his job, the drummers also waved all away. Thorsten Ehmke wanted to continue studying. There must be new people here, Hagedorn found. I remembered Nico Kuhlkamp, with whom I had played dance music in the Ami-Clubs before."

DIE MUSTANGS

Als Udo Lindenberg zum ersten Mal sein Moped aufsattelte, da ritt er schon den Schlagzeugsitz bei den Mustangs, doch die Sache mit dem 50-cm³-Hengst hatte dennoch so ihre Tücken. Nun muß man wissen, daß sich Udo, gerade mal knappe 17 Lenze jung, abends gern einen auf die Lampe goß - in Münster, in seiner Stammkneipe. Und der Heimweg nach Hiltrup mit dem Taxi kostete ihn immer ein kleines Sümmchen. Also gedachte unser Geisterreiter, sich etwas billiger zu stellen, und erwarb eben jenen fahrbaren Untersatz. Ordnungsgemäß parkte er ihn vor der Kneipe, begoß das Lämpchen und verließ die Tränke, um sich auf den Heimweg zu machen. "Nee, in dem Zustand mit dem Moped, das machsse nich",sagte sich Udo dann doch, ging zurück in die Kneipe, rief nach einem letzten Jägermeister und dem Taxi. Am nächsten Tag, frisch wie ein Turnschuh, raus aus dem Haus: "Ach du je! Das Moped steht ja vor der Kneipe. Taxi!" Spätestens jetzt wußte Udo, daß er so kein Geld sparen konnte - es sei denn, er verzichtete auf den Jägermeister, aber ein bißchen was wollte man sich ja doch gönnen. Wie aber hatte es Udo überhaupt zu den Mustangs verschlagen? Das ist eine lange Geschichte, und die beginnt bekanntlich vorn.

Der Zuchthengst der Mustangs war ein Studiosus in Münster - Gerd Geerken. Er hatte seine Zeit vor den Mustangs in studentischen Tanzkapellen verbracht, die ihn bis nach Süddeutschland und Frankreich trugen. Als '62 Gitarren-Instrumentalbands wie die Shadows und Ventures über die Bundesrepublik kamen, da witterte Gerd die Marktlücke - vor allem, weil er als erstklassiger Gitarrist diesen Gruppen durchaus Paroli bieten konnte. Einer seiner Gitarrenschüler, Steffi Stephan, rekrutierte der fast zehn Jahre ältere Gerd vom Fleck weg. In Anbetracht des Mangels an (lokalen) Bassgitarristen wurde Charlie Brüggemann überredet, einen Höfner-Bass zu erwerben. Zu dritt wurde man - ohne Schlagzeug - als Gitarrenband aktiv. Name: The Guitarmen. Bühnendebüt: 23. Juni 1963 im katholischen Pfarrheim zu Münster.

In Münster war damals musikalisch der Hund begraben, alles ganz gesittet; so, wie es sich für eine konservative Beamtenstadt, schwarz wie Steinkohle noch dazu, gehört. Gegenüber dem Bahnhof jedoch, da gab es die Oase, eine kleine Kneipe. Deren Wirt hatte von den Guitarmen Wind bekommen und bot ihnen ein Engagement an. Steffi wurde von seiner alleinerziehenden Mutter stehenden Fußes wieder aussortiert, weil er noch keine 18 war. Sie befürchtete Ärger mit dem Jugendamt, wenn sie ihrem minderjährigen Filius solch frivoles Tun erlaube. Also suchten sich die Guitarmen einen neuen Rhythmusgitarristen, Thorsten Ehmke. Und einmal wöchentlich zierten sie, mit ewig wechselnden Schlagzeugern, als reine Instrumentalband die Oase.

Für die damalige Zeit waren die Guitarmen exquisit ausgestattet, mit Fender Stratocaster und Fender Jazzmaster. Zu den beiden Gitarren war Geerken in Frankreich gekommen, damals, noch zur Tanzkapellenzeit. Die Stratocaster hatte er bei einem amerikanischen GI gegen einen Höfner-Bass (plus einer Höfner-Gitarre als Zugabe) eingetauscht, die Jazzmaster von einem anderen GI für $250 gekauft.

Student Gerd Geerken wohnte im Kreuzviertel, unmittelbar gegenüber dem Gemüseladen Hagedorn. Der Sohn des Inhabers hatte einen guten Riecher für Geschäfte. Er war gerade 19, als er einen Großhandel aufzog: Er kaufte auf dem Großmarkt ein und belieferte mit den Waren die Einzelhändler. Dann entdeckte er auch die Musik als potentielle Geldquelle, und da arbeiteten ja schließlich die Musiker, er selbst brauchte sich nur zurückzulehnen und die Kasse zu bewachen. In Emsdetten mietete er eine pleite gegangene Kneipe an, taufte sie Insel-Tanzcafé und buchte die Guitarmen. Nun stand einmal die Woche Emsdetten in deren Terminkalender. Dann wurde Hagedorn in Münster fündig, und ein zweites Insel-Tanzcafé entstand. Auch hier wurde für die Guitarmen ein regelmäßiger Termin gemacht.
