This is not so difficult for me, I was immediately impressed by C+B’s first LP Desolution. This was in 1966 a revolution in the music world and it is the best creation ever made in our little country. Desolution, what an emotion on this album. This record goes through marrow and bone. It is already 9 years ago that Harry Muskee passed away. My hero. I choose the song Five long years by E Boyd on this album. In 1968 this album was awarded an Edison. I was 16 years old at the time and was already camping on Texel with my Puch. I saw C + B perform in Sarasani, completely in the dark on stage. Eelco was dressed all in black and stood dead still playing his solos. Harry of course in his knitted jumper. I had goose bumps and listened with a lot of emotion. The atmosphere fitted in the 60’s time. It gave me energy, strength and hope for the future. C+B ran like a thread through my life since then…
