A few days ago one of my closest friends, one of my dearest buddies passed away, Marko van der Horst.... In the 90's we worked together in a pretty crazy cafe in Rotterdam called The Rhythm, the year before I left Holland to go and live in Indonesia, in '95 we worked together at festivals in Germany and Denmark selling clothes from South-America, this is us at Roskilde checking out the birds:
Marko was a very talented musician and played banjo and ukelele with his girlfriend Shelley from Mississipi, USA, they called themselves The Uke Box...
And they ran a little store in Rotterdam where they sold all types of ukelele's and did workshops....
He also played guitar in the Bommel Band....
Marko was 45 years old...
This hurts....
I'm sorry to hear man. Wonderful tribute to an obviously very talented person.
ReplyDeleteVery sad news, Henk. This is indeed a sweet tribute. You'll be in my thoughts today ...
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss, Hank. Much sympathy for you and all those he touched with his musical spirit. A loss for humanity I'm sure. You will keep his spirit and it will live through you. paul B.
