Of course I like most people in general because every personality is endless, like going into a room and in another room again and again. Occasionally I meet dark-haired Latina girls to go on a picknick with them in parks or forests where there's lots of green grass to sit on and we enjoy forest-fruit-tea together while chit-chatting, chattering, learning and exchanging ideas and thoughts about the different but fascinating ways in which we experience the world around us and I serenade them with my keyboard and in my sailorman's blouse. Latinas can be very emotional and have a very intense personality. They might be the most complicated of women so that it usually is very worthwhile and educative for me to communicate and identify with them. During these proceedings I do not take any clothes off. Neither do they. These picknicks with my sister-friends are delightful indeed.

Influences
I like seventies pirate-radio. There were a lot of stations broadcasting from ships in the Northsea, like Radio Veronica, Radio Mi Amigo, Radio Caroline, Radio Northsea International, Radio Atlantis and Radio Del Mare. The police was chasing a lot after these ships after they had become illegal. This website has a lot of more information on that riveting subject: http://www.offshoreradio.org/downloadclub2/index_en.php I also like literature by Charles Dickens, George Eliot and William Thackeray. I didn't read any American literature yet. A big challenge constitutes Nathaniel Hawthorne, some of whose writables I hope to start scouring soon. I also like to collect records and CDs, but then who doesn't? Of course! The mp3-collectors...... I also like sleeping a lot but not all the time. When I'm awake I also tend to do gymnastics like push-ups and stomach-muscle-exercises...... And I like milk. It's the coolest drink in the world......
Movies: I like films by directors like Ed Wood, Billy Wilder, Frederico Fellini, Richard Lester, Peter Sellers and Robert Altman. I also like Stuart Little.
Television: The Colgate Comedy Hour. This was a weekly television-show from the fifties on American TV which was presented by the likes of Dean Martin &; Jerry Lewis and Abbott &; Costello. The Brady Bunch. The Persuaders, the Jack Benny Show, the Ed Sullivan Show, the George Burns &; Gracie Allen Show and Hee-Haw. Sponsored by Carnation evaporated milk......
Books Wuthering Heights, The Pickwick Papers, Our Mutual Friend, The Mill On The Floss, Vanity Fair, The Old Curiosity Shop, Girl With A Pearl Earring and some Dutch writers like Godfried Bomans (of whom I will translate a few short stories and put it on the Myspace-blocklog), Heleen Van Royen, Arnon Grunberg and Gerard Reve.
Sounds Like
I like sixties and seventies music. I have a big collection of the Beatles on vinyl and CD; also a lot of bootlegs of them, the Kinks, the Rolling Stones, the Who. And I like seventies Glam Rock where you can clearly hear that the band-members are stamping with their boots in a marching-rhythm. Of course Marilyn Manson is modern Glam Rock from the new millenium, but the band-members are not stamping with their feet so there is something essential missing. But of course everybody must sound as she or he feels most convenient. So it's Beat Music, Glam Rock Music, Psychedelic Music, early Disco-Music from the late seventies, some Classical Music, Destiny's Child (Their drumbeats are awesome! Pure Karate sometimes!), Raffaella Carra, Mina and Patty Pravo. The last three are female singers from Italy.

I'm a one-man-band. It's very easy to be a one-man-band. I just pre-record the drums and the bass. And then I play keyboard, voice and sometimes mouth-harmonica live. But because the drums and bass are added on a CD the pressure of having only two hands disappears like ice in the sun. I'm happy to make many new friends all over the world, especially in Italy. The nice thing about America is that everything is ten times bigger and goes ten times more fast and the number of performances I can do is also ten times as much as it is in my own country where everything is ten times smaller. So I will come again to Los Angeles and some more places. And then when all my friends from Myspace will come we can have a big party together. And I also would like to go on a picknick in the green Laguna forest-hills with all of you and guitars. Then we can reconstruct paradise and experience something which we wish to last forever...... My first two CDs named "Well....Here's Another Nice Mess You've Got Me Into!" have been released on Tocado Records a few years ago. My third CD named "Veronika" is out now since very recently. It's the first CD of me with a band named The Must. With the band my music sounds more full and more complete and hopefully also more versatile. I don't know if it sounds better but it certainly sounds different. My CDs can be ordered on www.tocado.com by Paypal......
Salut! Qu'il nous soit permis de vous informer, avec le tact et la
politesse qui conviennent à Myspace, que nous avons enregistré de
nouvelles chansons, et que vous pouvez en écouter certaines sur notre
profil.
Voici aussi une paire de vidéos: 2 extraits de concerts que nous avons tournés cet été.
A tantôt,

Hola caballero harry merry yo tambien le deseo un agradable fin d semana d mucha esperanza y d mucha bondad y suerte y espero y este d maravilla de parte d su hermana patt pantalones rotos saludos
Okay :) Sounds great. I will probably just get them from you, unless the other is easier. A culinary songtext sounds intriguing; a happier world with picnics and music sounds grand. Talk to you soon. Blue
:) Hope you are doing well. The timing you accomplish is really cool sometimes. It's a very strange mix, wonderful. Are you doing well working with a band? Should I go to your website to buy an album? Blue
