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 ...

Sister Golden Hair Another week has passed again, so it’s time for a new recording. This time the song is Sister Golden Hair, by America. It’s a song I’ve only learned to play earlier this year, for one of the Singalong Sunday live streams. It reminds me of love, sunny days and happy times. No idea why, but that’s what ...

Different approach Last week I enthusiastically announced the start of a new season of my Singalong Sundays. To my disappointment, there weren’t many people sharing my enthusiasm, which is hardly surprising with me not being active on social media and no longer sending out emails (next blog will be about exactly that subject!). I understand that, but it also tells ...

Hello, hello! Music on Singalong Sunday is back! We’re starting another season of music and fun. Every Sunday evening 20.00 hr. / 8pm Central European Time (which is 7pm BST, 2pm EST and 11am PST). With a different format this time. First and biggest change is that I will no longer be playing a full hour. This was possible to ...

Summer break Due to the heat in Spain, we’ve had to cancel the last Singalong Sunday. It’s too hot in our house to do live streams during the summer, so we’ve announced a summer break. I will play live again on Sunday September 20th, but I’m still considering the format in which I want to do that. I’ve sure had ...

Failing system On the latest Singalong Sunday things were looking much better, or more like ‘listening better’, than the week before that. So, loaded with optimism we made the preparations for last Sunday’s Singalong live session. To run into a totally failing system! Aaaaargh… what was going on??? What happened? Maurice can get very upset (understatement!!!) when computers, programs, plugins ...
