my blogging personality

While drinking a Haags Bakkie I met some interesting new people. One of them being Maurits Burgers, a guy with a very interesting blog. There I saw this very nice blogging personality test. Had to post it..

Your Blogging Type Is the Private Performer

Your blog is your stage - with your visitors your adoring fans.
At least, that's how you write with your witty one liners.
And while you like attention, you value your privacy.
You're likely to have an anonymous blog - or turn off comments.

Last week we had a very nice tour in Denmark. Hobro, Holstebro, Silkeborg and Esbjerg; four concerts in three days! But sometimes we also like to play in the neighbourhood, keep in touch with home. And here is the good news: next week we will be playing in Dendermonde, Belgium. Not exactly home, but close enough :D
So be there Saturday March 31st in jazzclub Honky Tonk in Dendermonde!
Concert starts at 9:00PM
Hope to see you all!

The cd presenation in the Melkweg was overwhelming. Too much to mention now I'm afraid. But it was great to feel that also the audience was super super super enthousiastic. One of the most heartwarming things I came about on the net was The Hague resident Marco Raaphorst, who wrote this very nice article. Makes me blush...

Ellister in 'De Wereld Draait Door'


This Monday the New Generation Big Band had a very nice prime time television appearance on 'De Wereld Draait Door'. A big thing for me since not only did I have a short conversation with the host of the show (Claudia de Breij), I also got to play a solo to prove I was serious about my statement.
