Day 33 of the Covid19 quarantine:
"End of Season", by Jaune Toujours, performed by Piet Maris.

"Looking back on the festival times / The end again of our camping life / Folding the tent just one last time / Closing the caravan door with a sigh / Once more rolling up the sleeping bags / Summer set behind our back / Freedom stays at the concert site / On to reality double check"

The end of the festival season comes before it even started this year...
A big blow today for the whole music sector, incl. musicians and audience: big festivals won't take place during summer in Belgium ànd Germany...

Day 28 of the Covid19 quarantine:
"Boem Patat", by Ik en den Theo / Moi et le Theo, performed by Piet Maris.

This song was commissioned by the primary school "De Toonladder" after that other lockdown of Brussels, just after the terrorist attacks in Paris.
The school team wanted a song that the children could sing to lift their spirits.
We hope it will work its magic for the wee ones once more.
