Boudewijn de Groot gave me the impetus to put together my own repertoire. The double CD 'Leeftijd' is the result. Of the eleven original Dutch songs, six are based on texts by the poet Driek van Wissen. His message in the poem 'Leeftijd' unfortunately applied to himself.

Driek was also far too young to leave this world. Driek was proud, as he himself said, that a number of his poems were immortalised in music. The beautiful arrangements for these songs were created with great care together with Laurens van Wessel.

Enjoy listening!

Kou is.....

 

Bij de dag

 

Leef en heb Lief

Kwaad of erger

 

Geef het maar toe

 

The sun is shining!!!

 

Wanting to hide

 

Love = Life

 

See the whole world different
