About me:

Dear reader, I am not a journalist, and not dependant from the music business. However I am a vampire if it comes to La Musica. Music to me is as basic as blood, and writing about it adds to my pleasure. This relation with music had it's ups & downs, but until this very moment it takes a major place in my life. Luckily my personal life doesn't consist of music alone. I am happy to be surrounded by my family. (I dearly love my wife, my sons and my dogs - it sounds over the top, but that's how I see it.) I write CD-reviews for http://www.plato.nl - one of best INDEPENDENT musicshops and internet distributors of The NETHERLANDS. PLATO has music for the connaisseur, simply music that is honest, authentic & exciting. I try to stick to the roots of modern western music. To me this is folk, blues, soul & rock flavoured music. Just jump into my profile and nothing further needs to be said.

Who I'd like to meet:
