live on the internet

tomorrow evening from 6 to 8 is an internet show (audio and video) called Desmet Live. That's 9am to 11am for you West-Coasters in the US. We'll be doing 3 tunes. I don't know when exactly. But, you can tune in & see us if you don't mind listening to a lot of Dutch. http://www.desmetlive.nl/

Today we rehearsed in the morning. Afterward I tried to make a grocery run but evidently Dutch groceries don't take credit cards. And their bank cards are not the same as our bank cards. And the local ATM is out of service. So, no groceries.
We left at 2:30 for our first radio show, did it, went to this old town and had pancakes (mine was a lot more like an omelet than a pancake, with cheese and bacon and tomatoes, but with pancake instead of egg). Then coffee, then a walk, then more coffee and then we went back to almost the same place and did the second radio show. They tell me that nearly all of the brodcast media in Holland is produced in this one (huge) business park. It was odd to be on the radio and not understand a word of what was being said until "(blah blah) AJ Roach!" ...and then play. From zero to 60 in about that much time. We got back to the house, and I'm on my way to bed shortly. Here's a few pics from the day.
