Tony Sarg
Anthony Frederick Sarg (April 21, 1880 – February 17, 1942), known professionally as Tony Sarg, was a German American puppeteer and illustrator. He was described as "America's Puppet Master", and in his biography as the father of modern puppetry in North America.
Sarg was born in Cobán, Guatemala, to Francis Charles Sarg and his wife, Mary Elizabeth Parker. The elder Sarg was a consul representing Germany; Parker was English.
The family returned to the German Empire in 1887; Sarg entered a military academy at age 14 and received a commission as lieutenant at 17; in 1905 (in his mid-20s) he resigned his commission and took up residence in the United Kingdom, where he pursued a relationship with Bertha Eleanor McGowan, an American he had met when she was a tourist in Germany. They were married in her hometown of Cincinnati, Ohio, January 20, 1909, and returned to England where their daughter Mary was born two years later. In 1914, with the start of World War I, he sent Bertha and the children to Cincinnati, followed them soon after, and settled the family in New York City in 1915.

Seen
by: Diana SarghiSometimes I see ya passing by
Ooooo why
Sometimes I see ya going away
Ooooo please say
Sometimes I realize why luv is giving me mistakes
When you’ve got luv , you don’t really see their face
I’ve seen you in my dreams,
I’ve seen you far away
But there is nothing, I said nothing
Like that one single day
And once again, when I look in the mirror
I see you there, behind like you were even near her
Near the little shining star
That gives me hints of who you are
Sometimes I realize why luv is giving me mistakes
When you’ve got luv , you don’t really see their face
I’ve seen you in my dreams,
I’ve seen you far away
But there is nothing, I said nothing
Like that one single day
Oh ooooooooooo oh oh. Tell me that my soul is wrong
Tell me that I’m understood
By what I call … the only TRUTH !
Or when I’ve seen you once again
I undersatnd I truly do
What made you seem so damn ubset
It’s really true, it’s really true
Sometimes I realize why luv is giving me mistakes
When you’ve got luv , you don’t really see their face
I’ve seen you in my dreams,
I’ve seen you far away
But there is nothing, I said nothing
Like that one single day
That damn old day.. When I’ve seen ya.. I’ve seen ya..
