" The Amazing Stroopwafels is a Dutch band originating from Rotterdam. They started as a duo in 1979, performing as street musicians. During the election campaign period they performed often at street demonstrations for the SP, the Dutch socialist party. The group now consists of Wim Kerkhof (vocals, double bass and piano), Arie van der Graaf (electric guitar) and Rien de Bruin (acoustic guitar and accordion). Although the band never had a hit-record, their 1981 song Oude Maasweg (based on Leon Russell's Manhattan Island Serenade, from the album Carney) is a classic in Dutch pop music history. The song starts in English, the second verse continues in Dutch as an impressionist story of heartbreak in the dreary industrial area of Rotterdam. In 2007 the song charted number 16 in the Top 2000, an all-times chart compiled by the listeners of Dutch Radio 2. " (Wikipedia)
" Featuring Judy Collins, Patty Larkin, John Gorka and more! Fifteen years ago Christine Lavin used her rising star-power to assemble a lovely, literate anthology of contemporary folk songs reflecting the lamp-lit, dark-chocolate moods of winter. The best testament to this warmhearted classics enduring importance is the large number of contributors still enjoying vital careers, helping to make our real lives sound like the stuff of ballads." Ok, now dim those lights. Say good-bye to your friends on the computer network. Turn off that TV. Unplug your fax machine. Snuggle op under the blankets and listen to music that just might raise your body temperature on a cold winter's night. Songs here are by singer/songwriters from all over the country, and it's our way to promote love and romance in the 90's. So cuddle up - bundle up - stay warm this winter. Love & kisses, Christine Lavin." (Christinelavin.com, albumcover)
