In loving memory of my late wife Hanne (23rd March 1968 - 10th November 1998)mother of our children (Mirjam, Judith & Samuel). During our only journey together (three months before her dying day) , to Ireland (the country she loved), I bought Mike Oldfield's Orchestral Tubular Bells on the Dublin airport. We often listened to it in those last three months. That's why I recorded this for her 52nd birthday. Sometimes on special days like her birthday and her death anniversary I create something to remember her.....

21 Years Ago ....

It Seems Like Yesterday

The Weakening Grip of your Hand

The Sound of Your Last Breath

21 Years Ago ....

Lightning struck my Heart

Everlasting Pain

Never to Forget

21 Years Ago ....

Serious but Disturbing by Arno Willems

I recorded this the morning before we went to Doloris - a maze in Tilburg (Netherlands)

“Admit it. You aren’t like them. You’re not even close. You may occasionally dress yourself up as one of them, watch the same mindless television shows as they do, maybe even eat the same fast food sometimes. But it seems that the more you try to fit in, the more you feel like an outsider, watching the “normal people” as they go about their automatic existences. For every time you say club passwords like “Have a nice day” and “Weather’s awful today, eh?”, you yearn inside to say forbidden things like “Tell me something that makes you cry” or “What do you think deja vu is for?”. Face it, you even want to talk to that girl in the elevator. But what if that girl in the elevator (and the balding man who walks past your cubicle at work) are thinking the same thing? Who knows what you might learn from taking a chance on conversation with a stranger? Everyone carries a piece of the puzzle. Nobody comes into your life by mere coincidence. Trust your instincts. Do the unexpected. Find the others…”
