In 2013 I got to know Dick Verbeek, the then drummer of Basic Station and with that the blues. I became fascinated by the blues especially because I went with him many a time to the studio where the band practiced.
Yet the blues was not entirely new to me. In the early 80’s I played the album ‘Making Movies’ by the Dire Straits completely grey and my love for Mark Knopfler was born.
The song ‘Redbud Tree’ has been waking me up for years when my alarm clock goes off via my mobile phone. Bluebird’ is also a favorite. For me, this is a valuable album that I enjoy listening to and find wonderfully relaxing.
