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. In times like the present with COVID-19, climate change, destruction of biodiversity, people fleeing all over the world ………. I occasionally take comfort from the images of what was the protest 50 years agoContinue reading “Woodstock 1969”
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.
RIP Peter Allen Greenbaum
We know him as Peter Green. He died in his sleep. In my youth I really appreciated his music and especially the single Oh Well part one with part two on the B-side was a favorite. 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 !
Marjan has found a 45 rpm record that she often used in her own youth. The old 60-year-old technique of listening to music still works for the one-year-old granddaughter … she has only been able to walk for a month, but she is now also learning to dance …The Dutch texts of Annie M.G.

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 !
This … is why …
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.
‘t is haos weer dee tied van ‘t jaor …
Op een kolde winteraovond, as ‘t vrus as ‘t bast. Op de vievers en de bekk’n daor glimt ‘t ies as glas. Op de bulten van de Hummelse hei ligt een dik pak snee. Op de lösse plekken in het bos loopt sporen van een ree. Ies kan liehn, ies kan liehn, Mèrgen gaot wi-jContinue reading “‘t is haos weer dee tied van ‘t jaor …”

Last Sunday I travelled to Westdorpe, a small village in Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, to visit a cosy blues cafe called ” ‘t Oude Raedhuis “. There would be a performance by the Gritmoaners! Of course, I took my camera with me, because “If I can’t take my camera … I won’t go!” It was organised by “www.polderblues.com”Continue reading “Gritmoaners”
