The Dutch Netherlands Bank will give me my money back

The Dutch Netherlands Bank will give me my money back! Wouter Bos arranged all of this... I am very happy with this!

And what else...? Well, I saw the Aurelia Quartet today today. Playing Andriessen, Shostakovitch, Piazolla, Bach. They played well, althoug there many things we would have done differently (of course!) but the acoustics were not as well as I thought for chamber music in the BIMHuis. Although the athmosphere for the audience is much better than the BAM-zaal.

The days after the 'On the Other Hand' concerts

The days after the 'On the Other Hand' concerts. They went well, I think. I taught again today and couldn't help integrating some Kenny Werner into it. I even did the first step with two students. I quit another school and I have plenty of time of time to teach my current students. I enjoyed and it's great to have enough space in my head!
Check out Branford Marsalis and Willie Nelson, some fot he Wynton solos I have heard!!!
