Valentine’s Day Valentine’s Day is a big thing in the US and it is becoming bigger by the year in Europe. But let’s be honest… most of it isn’t about love and sharing one’s heart, is it? It’s more about commerce, business and sales opportunities. Especially for retailers. BUT… this blog is not at all about that! This blog is ...

Christmas out, winter in So, ehm, where was I? Last video I made was right before Christmas 2020… Check… Yup, Christmas has been long gone by now. Even January has already reached it’s last week! I just couldn’t get myself to recording songs or writing blogs these last couple of weeks. My husband and I have been busy with things ...

Merry Christmas everyone This whole week I’ve been looking forward to recording this song. It’s definitely my favorite Christmas song. Whenever I hear it, I have to sing along. It gives me a carefree, happy feeling. And isn’t that something we all need, particularly this 2020 Christmas? To forget for a while what’s going on in the world, and just ...

Christmas Songs – Jingle Bell Rock Song number two for December is, as you’ve probably already expected, another Christmas song. I’ve chosen another oldie, because I like this melody so much, and this time it’s Jingle Bell Rock! Actually, I’ve only learned to play this song today. So please forgive me for my sometimes very serious face in the video, ...

Christmas Songs – Winter Wonderland Yesss, after a couple of weeks without songs on Sunday, here I am, slowly getting back on track. Today I’ve recorded a Christmas song for you, because it’s December and… well, I figured that it’s time for some nice Christmas songs. Today’s song was a total earworm for me over the last couple of days. ...

Simple man – Lynyrd Skynyrd Today was our 12th wedding anniversary, a happy day in a not so happy situation, because Andalucía is going into lockdown again tomorrow for at least fifteen days. Nevertheless, today I’ve recorded a new song: Simple Man, from Southern rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. I’ve said it before and will keep saying it: let me know ...

Age Nothing much to tell today, except that the video below didn’t come easy (do they ever????)… pffff. I’m tired, and think I’ll hit the sack early tonight. But that’s probably because of my age… (see what I did there? 😜😂) So without further ado, go watch the video! Enjoy! Hope you liked it. Be so kind to let me ...

Tabby May – Stolen childhood It’s twenty years ago already, that I wrote this song. And over eighteen years since I recorded it, with a producer that, back then in 2002, was a rising star and is nowadays one of the Dutch top producers, mr. Gordon Groothedde from GG Studio in Zutphen. I still have the piece of paper with ...

Faith This week’s song recording is a song that I’ve loved from day one: George Michael’s Faith. The rhythm, the guitar, the voice… George Michael to me was a musical genius and it still makes me sad to think that he’s no longer among us. At least he’s left us some great music to enjoy. And to cover 😜. Which ...

John Denver’s Thank God I’m a country boy Time flies when you’re having fun. And so it’s Sunday again, which means that I’ve got a new song recording for you. Because I wanted an energetic song this time, I chose a song that I’ve been playing since 1984. And I’ve played it hundreds of times on many occasions.  When I ...
