Het Dorp by a Dutch actor,singer and cabaretier Wim Sonneveld Piano Deon

[the physics teacher]

I asked a student at my school where I teach Physics to play for me this song.
I knew he was a briljant pianoplayer because I had seen him perform on the same night at school where I was performing Creep from Radiohead. He sad that it was no problem so here it is on mp3.
In the sixties seventies Wim Sonneveld was a very popular comedian.

I discovered that it was difficult to sing the way Wim did but it is what it is.
The song is about an old man reminiscing about old times

Not too often I hear singing in Dutch, but I like it very much (although supposedly I learned a little Dutch when I was 10 years old as my family spent a year in northern Belgium).  Quite pleasant combination of piano and voice here, were they recorded together, or the piano first and voice overdubbed?

[the physics teacher]

Thank you all. The piano came first and voice overdubbed. Fun to read you know a few dutch words des0free.Can I assume that you remember swear words and if so can you name one

This sounds like a very tough one to sing. I think you did a tremendous job. A fine song too.
