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. SchmidtContinue reading “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….

‘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 …”
