Just a few words about the show yesterday. A while ago I was asked to play 60 seconds of a Prince song on DWDD. Due the amount of enthousiasm from the audience they decided to organize a show with all of the guests including me. I was honored because I knew some of the other names that would join me that night. Besides this, it was organized at the Melkweg which is one of the few places I’ve never played before so I was a bit thrilled. A few days back they told me the concert was sold out so I was really excited and yesterday I was nervous like shit. Not healthy. But to me, it was a really big deal. And I wanted to make this count. So the soundcheck didn’t promise me anything good since my nerves caused me to forget a lot of stuff. Mainly lyrics. Then I needed to wait hours and do make up and stuff, so I had allllll the time in the world to drive myself insane. I must say as a sidenote that the people of the crew made it as comfortable as possible so, again, thank you for that. When it was my time to show up I walked on stage like a 6 year old. I was shaking all over because there I was, sitting on my own, in front of 800 people. Quiet. Just, waiting for me to start. First thing I noticed through my nerves was that, the vibe, or atmosphere was amazing. I felt only positive vibes and NOTHING else. I think thats what caused me to just play and not forget any lyrics haha. So anyhow, after I was done there was this huge applause and a sudden relief but apparently not enough because I basically ran away. And afterwards someone told me that Matthijs van Nieuwkerk called me back but, I had no memory of this once however haha. I met some cool people and I think that pretty much sums it all up.

Ofcourse, when there’s video material or something. I’ll write a blog called Part II. For now, here’s a pic of the soundcheck.
