Yes, I know, I Know! I should be updating my pages more often. And yes, it’s been far too long since last time..But what a year this has been!!..both for my professional & private life as I crossed the 70 year mark and celebrated 30 years of partnership with my beloved Cora, and my 25th year in “Showbiz”, leaving my radio stint behind after 4 years on the air and taking to the stage once again. In my “down time” I spent days ( and days) helping Cora in refitting our camper van to make it “off-grid” suitable. It’s now a home away from home and can double as a mobile studio.
Spent a few weeks traveling off and on since June in it to enjoy the countryside and see new sights & visit old friends in the Benelux. It was Fab!
I also spent more days (& days..) learning and rehearsing new material between the several shows I did at some high-end and famous venues where I had the pleasure and privilege performing ” live” to what can only be called ” Hip” crowds ( yes, I’m “Old School”). And what delighted me even more was seeing how many young 20-somethings were in those crowds and appreciating the vibe..picking up what I was putting down!
And if you check the playlist to the lower right of this page you can hear some of my newer recordings I posted on reverbnation.com.
I do hope to be able to get back into some kind of rhythm as far as self-promotion goes but between family obligations, chores , trips and shows doing it may prove difficult. Nonetheless I do appreciate your checking in to catch this update, see the new vid on my vid page (Link up top)..a “6 minute plus” clip of me performing at Amsterdam’s famous Q-Factory music hall during the birthday celebration of my late great friend and Dutch music icon, Herman Brood.
Oh,,and before I leave you here let me once again remind you that “Mister Philly” is available for booking anywhere in the Benelux so do tell a friend!
‘Til next update ..
Ciao and Thanx again for the visit. Bless You.
