May 16th 2005:    Dansons aux sports d'hiver

Partice (Fr) writes:

"Dansen in de lente" was named "Dansons aux sports d'hiver" in France. It lacked the Leon Hardy track but had another track by Eddie Warner named "The next time".
Patrice was also kind enough to send us a cover scan and the missing Warner-song:

May 12th 2005:    Dansen in de lente
met het orkest van Eddie Warner en zang van The Nelson Boys en het Orkest van Leon Ardy (offline)
Dansen in de lente, kant 1 
Mes jolies vacances - Telstar (orchestra Leon Ardy) - Quand - 22 V'la le Twist
Dansen in de lente, kant 2 
Multiplication - Le Cha-cha-cha - Twist ? gogo - Sheila

" 'Dansen in de lente' (Dancing in spring) has become a recording which invites you spontaneously to put aside your table and chairs and to choose your partner for a nice dance. Eddie Warner and his orchestra take care of the music, assisted by The Nelson Boys" in a very special spontaneous way. They use their voices as an addition to the orchestra. They don't use words as most vocal groups do, but use their voices as instruments ..."

Etc, etc... I bought this EP for 50 cents in a charity shop, merely because of it's front cover, but the music is nice enough to share. After intensive physical and digital cleaning, still some pops and clicks occur. My apologies :-)

Radio Benelux, verzoekplatenprogramma (offline)
This morning I was looking through my old cassettes to see if I could find any evidence that I was making radio ever since my parents gave me a radio-cassette recorder, in order to digitalize it. Here's something nice I've found. It's not one of my own shows, but a recording from a radio pirate Radio Benelux, who was broadcasting in the center of The Netherlands during the seventies. By the sounds of their jingles they had "borrowed" the name from a Belgian radio station. You'll first hear one of my cousins requesting "A record by ELO for all ELO-fans". I remember that we would listen together with 5 or 6 kids to this broadcast, taking a turn in phoning to the station to request ELO-songs for each other to make sure they would play them. I had forgotten that we ever recorded such a call. Later you'll hear this and other of our requests announced by the DJ Felix de Haas, who was very fond of jingles (like most of them/us in these days) and who could never get the pronunciation of our names and of "Electric Light Orchestra" right.
Because of the music and the fact that "It's sunday may 7th" we know exactly when this took place: sunday afternoon, may 7th 1978, between 16:00 and 17:00. There is some interference because we were living just outside the transmitters range.

Video: ?Concerto per orchestra a pizzico? composed by Victor Kioulaphides

The ?Concerto per orchestra a pizzico? by Victor Kioulaphides? was composed for and dedicated to the Dutch Mandolin Chamber Orchestra ?HET CONSORT conducted by Alex Timmerman. The work was composed in 2004 and is one of the larger works (?18 minutes) for plucked instruments by Kioulaphides. It is scored for 1st and 2nd mandolins, mandolas, guitars, a mandoloncello and a chitarrone moderno. The premi?re of this delightful composition took place in the Concert hall of the Stedelijke Muziekschool in Groningen (Netherlands) on Saturday 19th of March (2005) in the presence of the composer. What is seen and heard on this video is the last movement: Rondo - Allegro spiccato "Telemanniana", as performed during the premi?re.
