“Het land waar ik geboren ben. Waar ik zo veel goede mensen ken. Waar ook mijn vader het leven vond en waar mijn moeders wiegje stond. Dat land dat mij te leren geeft hoe deugd naar ware grootheid streeft. Hoe ondeugd dikwijls zonk en viel.Ik heb het lief met hart en ziel.” De drukkende dichter Willem Josephus van Zeggelen ligt in een muzikaal bed met #BasSheva #HugoClaus #HansdeBooij #JulienClerc #KootenBie #RyCooder #JoopVisser #MarvinGaye #RaymondvanhetGroenewoud #ViveLaFete #BramVermeulen #FayLovsky #JanDeWilde #LievenTavernier #VayaConDios #RolandVanCampenhout #JulieLondon #MichelJonasz #ElmoreJames #EricClapton #NorahJones #LeonardCohen #MilesDavis #BillieHoliday #LesterYoung #CharlesAznavour #RichardGalliano #EddyLouiss #PaulAnka #JanRot #SimonCarmiggelt #AlainMazijn

When Paramount Records got the ol' chap to make this record, they put over a big one for the Blues! He is a blues preacher that knows how to pick and holler! Listen to this a here record right now!

And now, emanating from the Secaucus Lounge of the
Fabulous Fandango Hotel in Weehawken, New Jersey -
We proudly present the celestial melodies of Lou Waxman

Aunt Caroline Dye she told me,
"Son, you don't have to live so rough"
"I'm going to fix you up a mojo, oh Lord, so you can strut your stuff"

Originality is way overrated. To make, you need to take. All great artists do

(about Elvis Presley) I wasn't just a fan, I was his brother. He said I was good and I said he was good; we never argued about that. Elvis was a hard worker, dedicated, and God loved him.

Here she comes! The Black Diamond Express to Hell with Sin the Engineer holding the throttle wide open; Pleasure is the headlight, and the devil is the conductor.
