It's been a while... still playing livestreams every Sunday live at cafe Zamen in Amsterdam and online at café The Moot on Facebook

Join us! 

My daughter Annika (18) is a singersongwriter

I am very proud of my daughter, she write her own songs and it is so beautiful. A teacher of the Conservatory of Rotterdam (NL) offered her to record her songs. That is really great. For now she recorded her songs at studio66 Hans Meijer. You can listen to her songs right her on Soundcloud or Bandcamp

 Hi you all!

Because of the Corona the gig was cancelled and so we decided to do a livestream.

We had really much fun and Marleen, the owner of the café was happy for the support she got.

gigs in oktober 2020

Hi guys how are you all? 

It is hard not to get depressed in these hard corona Times. That is why I make as much Music as possible. 

Every Sundaymorning i do a livestream on Facebook at 9am gtm , ( 10 AM Dutch time!). Yes that is early but i am an early bird :)) and if you are too than i hope to cheer you up on these Sundays.

I do also some live gigs, I am very happy to play every Saturday at expocafę Zamen in Amsterdam, with Mario on bass and cajonist Tommy

This month we will drive to Groningen, a nice town in the north of the Netherlands, where i lived almost 20 years.

We will play in De Kroeg van Klaas on October 24 (5pm) and in Andledon Sunday Oct 25 ( 2.30pm). Hope to meet you there, we will try to go live on fb if you cannot make it :)

Best Corona gig ever!

Back to my roots: Joan Baez, Leonard Cohen and Simon & Garfunkel.
Playing for people who are already weeks in quarantaine; I love to do this, these gigs are very special to me. Watch the vid where the man is singing and dancing.
Stay home but I come to you if safe and necessary

The Corona virus at school

The Corona virus at school

 I am a musician but  I also work as a teacher at a primary school; my pupils are 11-13 years old. By combating the coronavirus, a lot of people work at home and the schools are closed from Monday.  Monday we had a meeting at school to talk about how we could still provide education. Then we started preparing our lessons. On Tuesday morning, all children were able to collect their books and notebooks between 9 and 12 am and they started working on their homework this morning (Wednesday). We worked hard! I collected all the phone numbers of the children of my class (group 8) and created a group chat. The apps with a ‘goodmorning’ arrived early this morning. At 9 pm the work schedule was sent by the Parro app, a mail to all parents and I also sent the files as images to all kids in the whatsapp group. Some children had some questions, but soon everyone started doing their homework. At the end of the afternoon I received daily reports by email. It is all quite drastic. The whole society upside down. This afternoon I got the message that the  final(cito) test for group 8 is canceled this year. Not everyone is happy with that. Tomorrow morning I will send documents with answers  so that the kids can check their homework. And then they got new homework.I would like to give a lesson online but I did not figure out yet what’s the best way to do this.When I got back home, my daughter, who is in high school, took online lessons by Google Meet.Sounds good. I think that this whole event can lead to a completely different direction in education. I am curious what will happen.  I try to get the most out of it as much as possible.Musically, all performances up to and including April have been canceled. Playing on the street is currently also not done. As a metro musician, I was told by the RAT Paris not to play in the metro.I would go back to Paris in early April to renew my permit, but of course I also had to cancel this trip. Fortunately, the NS reimbursed all costs. So much for the update.
