January 27, Marjan sang the requiem “The Flood” written by Douwe Eisinga in the Zeeuws Concertkoor in the Vlissingen St. Jacobskerk. As an amateur I took some pictures, doing my best to be as inconspicuous as possible, not to get in anyone’s way, not to make a sound and not to disturb the requiem… SoContinue reading “Requiem “The Flood””

EEF
Last weekend there was a festival at NoordBeveland near Kortgene. It’s the “Endless Island Festival” 2022. We have experienced two days of this fun relaxed celebration. There was a lot of music, food, art, culture and … nice people! I made some photos … have to wait till next year …
only women bleed
sung with the right feeling … I can’t get the song out of my head due to all the attacks of the past time.
Woodstock 1969
About 50 years ago I saw this film for the first time. The music and images are stuck in my brain.

Have a nice X-mas and a better New Year
These old friends of ours always cheer us up at this time of the year with their singing and conviviality, despite the cold, despite the darkness and despite the illnesses.
Dragonfly
Dragonfly was once the name of a band in Vlissingen. I thought of Rudy de Queljoe when I photographed this dragonfly in our garden. Canon 100-400 mm handheld funny, that seeing a small insect takes you so far back in your thoughts.

How happy I was in the seventies, when I was able to record both sides of the 45 rpmContinue reading “RIP Peter Allen Greenbaum”
Grandma plays vinyl !

Hurricane
These days I keep thinking about the lyrics of this song , written by a Nobel-prize winner… timeless. “Don’t forget that you are white” and In the following video, the text is more or less interpreted….
Herman van Loenhout
Armand sang this about 50 years ago.Still current. His songs are still on my playlist !

What happened to the American Dream ? The real story of US democracy isn’t the drama. It’s the complete unresponsiveness to it
Rory
It isn’t blues, it isn’t jazz, it isn’t hiphop, …. it is Rory ! Music from my youth
storm&rain
Today is stormy and rainy … So I’m listening to my favorite music, reading de Correspondent , follow the money, the real news and many more … trying to follow the turbulent world news (the repeating history) … and I almost cut my hair … 😉 my “freak flag”
39 years ago …
he was murdered…. I still mis him.
