The "fifth Schmidtcke":
Steffen Strauß.
Looks a little scary on the photograph, but he is
veeery nice: when things get really hot, and even the EST start to tremble, it's time for Steffi!
That is for this man has the rare gift to bring EST guitarist Schindi out of his shell and incite him
to top performance and guitar duells like in the days of old... (Lower, we do believe that Schindi
even is a little frightened of Steffen...)
As an old fellow and colleague from Gera days,
the sympathical rhythm guitarist played along on several EST recordings and some of the more main events.

To a man:
Wolfgang "Wolle" Himmel. (back middle)
Drummer lost is an often heard
phrase at the EST: When EST drummer Chris once again trips the world in secret mission, Wolle is there
to do the job. No ifs or buts. Happened just a few days ago at the big Beatles Memorial in Weimar.
We met him at the dixieland, where Rolf now and then takes pains to, and ask me where
he knows our pieces from: Donnow. He knows them, he does it. Not just a substitute: A good substitute.
