The Stories are like clouds hanging round my head. One will remind me of, another will cloud my raining eyes as another will smother the words that said to much.My memories, my interpretations, experiences and people on trains or crossing a street, lost loves and frustration, filosophical mindbreaking and passing by stories. Wishfull thinking and keeping myself on the ground I've walked on for so long. Recognizing happyness and enjoying it. Love life. Good and wrong. All of this and more is my inspiration and my greatest fear.I do what I love to do. Playing my acoustic gtr solo in a bar, singing, Playing bass as Mr. Bouquet in The Madd, whispering and screaming mine and other peoples stories. Telling theirs like they're my own. With my heart.
After a restless couple of years I started writing again. Having put a million things and a hungry heart behind me, I rediscovered the joy and the need of telling stories. From time to time backed up by incredible musicians I feel like I don't have to do anything but to enjoy.The people I love to work with.. Wieke Garcia( percussion ), Chris Grem(guitar, bass, vocs, piano,...whatever)Ron 'big brown bear'de bruin (drums), Peter Jessen(Bass), Sjaak schipper(bas), Ingmar Spaaij(guitar), Menno Gootjes(guitar miracle), Richard Heijermans(Drums), Slammy marty Graveyard(Drums).The bands they're in or worked with: Herman v Veen, Betty Serveert, Charlie
Dee, Raskalnikov, Cobraz, Sjako, focus, Judith, The Lau, The Madd...It's a privilige and an honour to be on stage with these people. I love the chemistry and their ability to plug and play. They are what make the prostitutes special. They make the clouds dissappear for a moment and make me able to sing, scream and shout.I've decided that there will be an album. Plans had stopped some time ago. But I will make this record... For now you'll have to do with the homerecordings and live takes.
