The iron tracks


Going from Amsterdam to Groningen. A distant ride in the Netherlands (2.09 hours). Anywhere else it's just a short ride, but this is between two distant cities in one of the smaller countries in the world.

Spinning Records

Well.. I just rediscovered my turntable (phonographic pickup, not the thing used on electrical guitars and things like that). And a picturedisc... It's fun to see something move again.. something that carries the music :)Hmm, I just noticed some dust here and there.. sorry for that. The turntable is a Sony Servo Controlled Turntable @ 110 V with a Denon DL-103 Stereo Moving Coil Cartridge.

Sjors en Sjimmie en het zwaard van Krijn


What is there to discover in the world? A lot. Sometimes it's fun to google your own name, and mine came up in a filmtitle: "Sjors en Sjimmie en het zwaard van Krijn". The premiere of the movie was in June in 1977...
Sjors and Sjimmie were a comicbook duo dating back to the thirties (!) of the 20th century (Sjimmie was introduced in 1950)

The above image is the poster from the movie, where the white Sjors and the black Sjimmie are obviously treated as equals.

The second image shows one of the albumcovers from a 1955 album, showing Sjimmie in a way nowadays would not be 'done' anymore.
