Hi Stefan,

Just came home from a holiday.
Thanks for you reply. I doubt if I'm younger than you, but that doesn't matter.
And nice what you said in Dutch. We could have been 'neighbours', though my childhood was in the Caribean, the Netherlands Antilles, on the island of Curacao.
But later on in the part of Holland you mentioned.
But you must be away a long time now, don't you?
Floyd also been in my hometown lately. Maybe if more of the 'diehards' from BiaB come visit Holland we can make music together!

Bye,
Hans

Hey Stefan,

This song is really great! Excellent.

I want to apologize for being so absent from the forum. Also, I will be candid that this part of the post is kind of a generic “form letter” to my old and new forum friends.

In brief, work is very hectic right now and I am having a hard time keeping up with the forum and even writing new songs. There is also a lot of new material hitting the boards—more than I can listen to and reply. People are on a roll!

Instead of backing away from the forum I want to stay involved by just giving the equivalent of a “like” as opposed to full-fledged commentary.

This way, I can just keep listening, and enjoying and reply with a simple LOVE IT or something like that.

I do listen, love your stuff and really want to continue following those who are so dedicated to encouraging others, even if it is only with one word.

Hope this makes sense, thanks for your artistry and forgive my brevity going forward with massive time constraints.

Also forgive me if you see this message more than once until I know I have covered all my bases.

Peace!!

Hi Hans,

thanks for your kind reply. Yes, it's been a very long time that I lived in Noord-Holland - 45 years ago and I really had planned then to stay there for good; was even already immatriculated at the A'dam university. But 'Dis go dis way, dis go dat way...'

Of course I have visited NH very often since then, but meanwhile going places is no longer an option: I'm just a very tiny step ahead of total blindness, can't even leave the house without someone escorting me and there isb't any more fun in going places, to be honest: I find it more and more scary. So any BIAB lovers convention in Haarlem will have to take place without me. frown

But I am so glad that in 2016 I found BIAB and Camtasia as a video app and now I spend a lot of time in front of my giant monitor using the mag glass - for me it's a wonderful way of spending my time doing things I like a lot: writing and producing music, throwing some humor into all my productions, wortking on the PC and having the people around me I like best starring in my videos. And the very best is, that I can do all that together with Maha who unfortunately has been very ill for six months now and improving very slowly with many setbacks. But aside of these sorrows things could definitely be worse.

Oh yes: Who's the older one of us? I've just turned 68.

I'm looking forward to you next production.

Take care,

Stefan

PS: Omdat ik Nederlands altijd een heel leuke taal vondt (alleen maar de grappige idioms zoals 'in de zoep rijden' of ' geen vingers in de pap hebben' enz., en een geweldige schat van uitstekende vloeken cool ) heb ik het toen tamelijk snel geleerd en vanaf het begin geen Duits of Engels meer gesproken. Toen had ik blijkbaar, wat ze 'een talenknobbel' noemden, dus dat ging heel goed. Maar ondertussen ben ik veel vergeten en ik zou het dus erg leuk vinden, om met jou af en toe op z'n Hollands te communiceren, maar natuurlijk aleen maar, als jij dat ook aardig zou vinden en dan okk per PM

Thanks a lot, Will, I'm glad you could enjoy it.

And I am sure you noticed that this time I displayed the credits way longer than in former productions.

I'm still grateful for the respective hint you gave me some time ago.

Take good care and thanks again for taking the time to watcg and listen,

Stefan

Oh sure, we're so trustworthy we're even considering to become politicians - seems we have all the qualifications that are needed these days cool.

Thanks for your positive comment - glad you enjoyed song and vid.

Hi David,

there are so many single adjectives that could make my day, so don't you worry.

And, yes, being a forum member can become almost a full-time job..

Thanks for you kind words on my song.

Take care,

Stefan

I was away on vacation when you posted this one. I always appreciate your humor, and I knew I was in for a good set of lyrics with the opening verse.
