AMSTERDAM    |   1995 - 2011
I've changed Paris for Amsterdam in early 1995, where I got lucky by my first visite to the most famous pop-temple in town Paradiso. Later that year, I started working for several culture oriented institutions, such as: Eurostage, Orkest & Gehoor, Kunst & Bedrijf, BNA... 
Last in the row: The John Adams Institute from co-founder & director Anne Wertheim. I have been the event-coordinator from September 2004 to December 2011. Working with 3 directors: Monique Knapen, Corine Krijgsman and Russell Shorto. Together with the JAI volunteers, we've organized a total of 121 lectures events with the best American (and some English) authors and one filmmaker. 
 

PARIS    |   1968 - 1995
I had to leave the US and went back to Europe, Paris this time in July 1968. A Dutch theatre -maker I had met there advised me to follow my passion: live music. Thanks to him, I’ve worked for a famous Dutch singer, and later for festivals and theatres with French singers, rock-bands, jazz-musicians & world music artists. I've lived and worked in Paris for 27 years. 


NEW YORK CITY   |   1967 - 1968
In 1967, I went to New York City where I got inspired by the New York City Art & Music Scene. A specially by Bill Graham's Fillmore East on 3th. Avenue. They produced daily concerts with the superstars. Remarkable was the performance of The Doors on March 22, 1967: although they were retarded by the police for more than 45 minutes, they played better than ever before.



ROTTERDAM   |   1965 - 1966
My career started in 1965 as cashier at Movie-Theater Lantaren / Venster in the Gouvernestraat in Rotterdam. Where Federico Fellini's  La Dolce Vita was running during the twelve months I've worked there.

I was born on New Years Day 1946 in devastated Rotterdam.
