I want one…
It's been a while since I wrote a note... a lot of things happend since the last blog/post. (if you're curious about what I'm doing or love landscaping just as much as I do than you can have a little peek at www.weids.nl 😉 As a musician, and a guitarslinger to refine...
Net-working…
It's just like work. Although, that sounds funny when you consider yourself to be an amateur. It's even more funny as a Dutch pun: it's net (just like) work... (I'm so funny I could kill myself) Anyways, Blood, Sweat & Kiers was well shot during the broadcast of...
Spoil yourself…
A man should treat himself once in a while, right? To weeks ago I bought 2 Telecaster wiring assemblies from Emerson! What?! (you'll probably ask yourself ...) I just shoot the explanation at you... (whether you like it or not ). Guitars are strange things , they...
More than gold…

Serious Request!
3FM Serious Request 2013 vraagt aandacht voor kinderen die jaarlijks onnodig sterven aan (de gevolgen van) diarree. Dit is een stille ramp die het gevolg is van gebrek aan schoon drinkwater, zeep en toiletten. Een serieuze aangelegenheid die wij als bluesliefhebbers...

Who is!?
Born in the “West-Coast Delta” of Holland… Purmerend 1977. In that same year my cradle moved to Aalsmeer where I was raised and soon came into contact with the passion of “the village”: live music.
From a young age I became fascinated by the guitar. The Beatles, B.B. King, Eric Clapton and Muddy Waters were and are the artists on my father’s record collection.
