blue drum

We found this vintage kids drum at the market in Rotterdam last Saturday.

The instrument is so cool and moreover in my favorite color blue!
Well there is only one drumstick, who cares?

A one arm drumroll for you all this Wednesday...

This week a friend tipped me;
Lenny is coming to Rotterdam!
I was completely unaware ...
and I'm so glad I got tickets for the concert!
My friend's husband is called Roel and she told me she always sings "let love Roel"
That's a good sign text, so I made her a small reward for the tip.

Yay, I'm looking forward to singing along with Lenny on October 17;

I wanna be your guitar...

This funny song by Room Eleven, sung by one of my favorite singers Janne Schra
(today Schradinova) is a song where I just have to sing along.

It makes me think I can sing very well (when I'm all alone; for example in the car).

Unfortunately I can neither sing nor play the guitar.
But this funny animation of Wiep Teeuwisse fits perfectly. Watch and listen...

This love on a wire song I found on YouTube, it's by quite seventies Smokie.

But you better listen to this beautiful love on a (Spanish) wire song by my favorite singer Bebe.

"Y. es un trabajo que sorprenderá a los que esperen una continuación de Pafuera telarañas. Bebe ha.."

Finally after years of waiting for more Bebe today I received her new cd Y. Now it's playing and I've pressed the repeat button. In the summer of 2005 I was snooping around with the cd's in a FNAC store in Barcelona and was attracted by the cd cover of Bebe's cd Pafuera telarañas. When I heard the first song "men señara" I got goose pimples all over my body and knew this was My Favorite Singer! During that holiday I played the cd repeatedly and my 8 year old daughter Pippa sang the Spanish lyrics error-free after some weeks.
I wanted to know where these songs were about and I even took Spanish lessons for that reason.

Meanwhile Bebe became an actress and didn't make cd´s anymore.
I never gave up hope and last week I discovered by chance that Bebe has released a new cd and ordered one immediately. I've been waiting for years for this moment! She did it again; goose pimples and tears in my eyes. Y si, esta es mi BEBE
