In Dutch we call it “ freubelen” ( = dabble)

A colorful photo of a living room where a man is sitting on a black couch, he’s wearing headphones and is bending forward looking at a laptop placed on a black footstool, surrounded by wires and such on a wooden floor. There’s a large bookcase behind the couch and 4 wood colored guitars hanging on a wall. It looks like he’s recording something

As a birthday present for my friend John Cees, I once wrote a song in ’91 called ‘Wherever you have roamed’. In Nov ’99, his band released the cd single ‘Scram C Baby’s Christmas Carol’, which also contained the song ‘Under the Stars’. The photo was made by Roel Siebrand, when I was 16 years old ;)
The photo (front of the cd single) was made by Roel Siebrand, when I was 16 years old & thoughts it was a good idea to dye my hair dark auburn ;) the back of the cd single 'Scram C Baby's Christmas Carol', containing the songs 'Under the Stars', 'Wherever you have roamed' and Christmastime in the Mountains'.

Today, we vote. In Amsterdam there are 416 locations to choose from, like the beautiful redeveloped Posthoornkerk (church), built around 1860 by the famous architect P.J.H. Cuypers

a black & white cat with light green eyes, being completely oblivious of what’s going on in the world, is sitting on the kitchen table and staring into my camera saying “sup”. Peter Visser is sitting in the background. Btw, this is not my cat, it belongs to a friend of mine. It's also not my kitchen.

Dreamaniacs (acoustic), recorded live in 2005 with 2 mics with Peter & me on guitar & our Belgium drummer Gino 'Gigi' Geudens on backing vocals & shaker during an interview at a radio station in Seattle. No click track, no autotune, yes mistakes ;)

Of course Peter and I had to visit Sail today, we went there on our bicycles. Being a tourist in my own city is awesome & I love tall ships. Somewhere, in some alternative reality, I’m probably a sailor ;)

My 1st cell phone, a Pocketline Swing 200, from 1999. Loved the colour. You could only save 10 text messages, so it would keep you in a constant pick-and-choose mode
