You look really strange in that pink suit, Rob. Or isn't that you?
Talking 'bout old MB's:
My neighbour was a sailor. Captain on a big freight ship and always away from home for over six months. (*) After he left his wife always had men coming over. One of her 'friends' was a big, hairy bearded man, driving old Mercedesses with the vertical headlights like the one above. She had a lot of lovers, but I was always intrigued by this man. When I was like 8 or 9 I asked my mother who the guy in the old Mercedesses was. My mother looked at me and said: 'That's Jan. He's a
musician'
She said the word 'musician' as it was soemthing like burglar, hobo, thief, bank robber, .. At that moment I thought it would be a good idea to become musician, driving old MBs and screwing beautiful young sailor's wives;)
Today I drive a Twingo which is more a gay icon than a car and of course I envy Rob! Any relationships with sailor's wives, Rob?
That captain lost a leg after a cable on his ship broke loose. It was ripped of. When he came home, with a beard and a fake-leg I lend him my parrot:)
Ehm: Hobbies? Two bands, two cats, writing for some magazines and websites... I read a lot about WWII, I visit a lot of WWII sites like D-Day beaches, battlefields, bunkers, concentration camps and museums. I used to collect 1/18 model cars, but I sold the lot to buy some nice basses.
I coach a lot of young bands around here, just for fun and for free, I organize a festival. Mostly musical things.
