USA roadtrip!


(Dutch translation below)
In August I traveled to the USA with my two daughters and Mario. My Americain friend Jo lives there and she asked me to come over. First I did not feel like it. I am very afraid to fly. But I felt that it was important to go there and meet my friend again after so many years. I met Jo  when I was 18 years old and at that time I traveled in Europe with my backpack and guitar. I made enough money by busking.  I met her in Venice. We have traveled together for a year and had a lot of adventures. I didn't see her for 18 years and so it was really time to visit her! We prepared our trip very well; Jo bought us the bass and guitar and the amps and picked us up at the airport in New York. With te five of us we 've been traveling for three weeks!
I am so glad that I made this trip! It was a beautiful and musical road trip.
We have traveled from New York via Baltimore, Smokey Mountains, Nashville, and Memphis to Fayetteville (Arkansas). And I want to thank all those people who had us and listened to our music. Especcially the homeless man who gave us a little ticket for a free laundry after he listened to our music for a while. We had gigs at several bars and we played in the streets. It was great!
Below is a link from a video that was made in BlueBird Café Nashville.I hope you enjoy the vid!
The other vid shows our roadmovie in 13 minutes.






In augustus vertrok ik naar de USA met mijn twee dochters en Mario. Mijn vriendin Jo woont daar en zij vroeg mij al jaren te komen. Ik had er niet zoveel zin in, de USA is een land wat mij niet aantrok. Maar ik voelde dat het belangrijk werd om daar toch naar toe te gaan. Mijn vriendin Jo ontmoette ik toen ik 18 jaar was en door Europa reisde met mijn rugzak en gitaar. Ik kwam haar tegen in Venetie. We hebben een jaar samen gereisd en het was 18 jaar geleden dat ik haar voor het laatst gezien had.
Ik ben zo blij dat ik deze reis gemaakt heb! Het werd een mooie en muzikale roadtrip.

Early Bird Rehearsels on Saturday morning

When I met Marianne, the owner of café Zamen , I suddenly was stung by a wasp on my throat. That was quite painful but she did not hesitate  and tried to suck the sting out. That was quit weird, but afterwards we both had to laugh about it. Every week Mario and I visited café Zamen to drink coffee latte and one day she asked if we wanted to rehearse our music at her place. She had heard our music and she said she liked to listen while she was cleaning up the place, early in the morning.
We think so too! And so it happened.

Every Saturday from 10 am we try out our songs, and we meet  people who come over to have breakfast, early lunch or drink tea or coffee. So you, early bird, you are very welcome!

Playing music in a shop...

Lately we sometimes play in a shop. This was in the beginning a little bit weird, but now we think it's a nice thing to do. Managed by a good bookingsoffice and meeting nice people! If we play close to the door, people from the street come over and listen. That's nice :) Feels like busking.

STUCK in Dublin!

Well, we couldn't get away.... all flights were cancelled because of the BEAST of the EAST...
We were in a queue for almost 6 hours at Dublin Airport on Wednesday Februari 28th and finally we couldn't get away till Saturdaynight March 3rd

It was no big deal. We love Dublin, we love the people, the music. The storm was heavy, but we stayed at the Abraham hostel and it was warm and cosey upthere.

I played in the street again, my fingers were frozen. Yes, it was so cold that i couldn't feel my fingers anymore, i had to be more carefull, but people liked what I was doing and it was worth it.

Annika sang a song in The Celt, she did that very well!

So I am home again, had a great time, really, thank you Dublin!

Dublin februari 2018

So here i am and my two beauty ful daughters are with me, having a great time in this nice city which is full of pubs and live music.
Its cold outside so its a bit hard to busk, still its allright. I found just one small alley, not much people but good enough for me. The Grafton Street is really to wide, most buskers got amplifiers.
I bought this guitarelele,  have to get used to IT a lot, its tuned in A, so i need to play other chords.
Last night i went to Bleeding Horse, i was surprised how cosey and relaxed this famous
 pub is. Played two songs of my own there.
