Hmm, only 14 people who dropped me a mail for the Jimmie Haskell file. Not very popular, these space-age-records, I guess. Enoch Light went away about 200 times, Les Baxter too... Or is it that people are a little lazy when it comes to do a little thing before getting something?
Well, anyway: Time´s up for Jimmie, here´s another gem from good old James Last. This one is for our friends from the Netherlands and it´s from 1969. "Op Klompen" means to wear these obscure wooden boots, just like Hansi does on the cover. Holland´s (and Germany's) favorites are nice to hear, try to sing along if you dare, but don´t mix up the words... ;o)
Here´s the tracklist:
1) Hoog op de gele wagen
Een karretje op de zandweg reed
De paden op, de lanen in
Hela, gij bloempje
2) In 't groene dal in 't stille dal
Langs berg en dal klinkt hoorngeschal
't Zonnetje gaat van ons scheiden
3) Moeke, d'r staat 'n vrijer bie de deur
Catootje
Daar kwam ene boer van Zwitserland
In Holland staat een huis
4) Vier weverkens
Hoe zachtkens glijdt ons bootje
Knaapje zag een roosje staan
5) Door de bossen door de heide
Limburg mijn vaderland
De bloempjes gingen slapen
Op de grote stille heide
6) 'n Boer wol noar zien noaber tou
Het kwezelken
Daar was laatst een meisje loos
Wel Annemarieke
7) Des winters als het regent
Wie rusten wil in 't groene woud
Roodborstje tikt tegen het raam
8) De wielewaal
De uil zat in de olmen
Een vreemde arme snuiter
Phew, that was hard to type, believe me... Now I´m waiting for Hansi "In Scandinavia", ´cause I still don´t have it...

Hmm, the best albums from Hansi... it all depends on your taste, I would say. The most unusual albums (and therefore great work) are certainly "Voodoo Party", "Hair" and "Around the World", which is a hard to get 3 LP Box. But all his records are handicrafted and executed very well.
Piero Umiliani was the inventor of "Mah-Na-Mah-Na", one of my favorite songs from Sesame Street. I only know the rest of his work from my compilation called "Musicaelettronica", so I cannot judge the quality of his entire work. I don´t listen to this hysteric stuff very often...
It brings back sweet memories of my childhood, that´s simply all. So there´s no special thing attached to this music. Hmm, maybe there is: James Last grew up and worked about 60 Miles from my home, so we were almost neighbors...
