  • Herman van Loenhout

    Long ago I came to know his music. I got respect for the guy who entirely in his own way developed his music in the turbulent sixties and continued to write and recite until yesterday.

  • The Moody Blues

    I was 13 years old when they showed this on the French television. Just short before the riots in Paris. The band had to do some covers to fill time …. in those days they only had a few hit songs.  Everybody my age has grown up with this sound. I’m too old to die young…
