He cared for his seriously ill mother for ten years until she died. His uncle gave him the idea to glue bottle caps and took the first 2,000 bottles with him. “The cork calms me down,” says the early retiree.

That’s why fans often send him these boxes as donations. “At some point I thought that I should do something on the Internet that no one else was doing,” said the early retiree. And when his brother gave him an old jacket, the cigarette pack suit was born. “I just glued the boxes together.”
He performed his crazy dance creations accompanied by his favorite song “Take Your Time”. Zeidler said: “The Cello artist reminds me of my late wife. She looks like her and sings like her.”
