Les Cornichons

July 20th, 2008

The coming week I’ll be on a strict diet of white wine and schnitzels, and possible no internet…  A few schnauzer tunes are being finalized as we type, but for the curious at heart you can go to www.theater-walhalla.nl to listen to a few tunes I did last month. (hit refresh since the opening is random, and there are 4 possibilities).

For the rest of you hit play on the movie below, and repeat that the coming week. (darn I really wish I wrote that one). I don’t know anything about that song. My french is also very bad, but I know Les Cornichons means : ‘the pickles’ which is a great theme to write a groovy tune to.

Look ma, no fingers!

I told you a looooong time ago about the handless organist. But here we can see one in action. Billy Alexander has his own youtube channel. He was born with a defect on both his hands and feet. It took him many surgeries and 8 years of organ lessons to achieve this. Which is incredible to me. Had I been in his position I would’ve picked up the trombone. Respect!

Sweet deal

I’ve convinced my wife that NOW is the time to buy this.

Stupidest band-picture ever. The one in the middle must be doing something really nasty with his hands, or he just fell asleep. You go ahead and make that up for yourself, I’ll hold….

Raising the level

July 14th, 2008

Last Saturdays festivalpics are online (bospop) . It seems they posted them in order of importance.

You see, the rough photo lineup is: Steve Lukather, Crowded House, Snowy White… and the very last photo is…..Schnauzer!

Aiff at Rainbowpark Dordrecht June 15th 2008.

Yes, I do play this thing live occasionally! Very funny to have a soundcrew drooling around a 50euro organ.

I’m loving youtube

June 27th, 2008

Don’t you just love youtube. An endless pitt filled with talent. Keep diggin’!

So, how does the monster sound?

June 21st, 2008

Yes, you begged and begged. And I said no, no, no, but I did it anyway. Recorded the Hammond organ to test out my new olympus portable recorder. I just set te levels, and fiddled for 2 minutes on the ol’organ. No theme, no nothing. So there you go. :)

Snoop Dogg!

June 16th, 2008

Yes, the Schlager returns. I know I just gave away the punchline with this first sentence, but there is no denying that ‘Schon ist es auf die welt zu sein’ still is a killer song. At least in my book it is….
