Rob Orlemans of Half
Past Midnight invited me to join him for an on-air performance on the Bluesiana
Radio program, broadcast on independent Dutch radio station Radio Purmerend,
just outside Amsterdam. Rob gave a couple of rare performances on his dobro, then
Bluesiana host Frank van Engelen invited me to play a couple songs on my acoustic...
The Ghost of Mrs. Adler and Driving Forward, Looking Back from my
Chicago Mike CD. Rob and I then played a couple numbers together.
After our appearance on Bluesiana Radio, Rob and I went to the P60 in Utrecht
to catch Julian Sas. Unfortunately,
the show was over by the time we got off the air, but we were able to enjoy Julian's
hospitality backstage afterwards. Though friends, Rob and Julian have been longstanding
rivals at the top of the Dutch bluesrock scene. Backstage at P60, I also met Tenny
Tahamata for the first time. Tenny is currently the bassplayer for Julian Sas,
though he played with Rob in Half Past Midnight for many years.
