Now this is an interesting pic! My friend Hans took it some 40 years ago before he emigrated to Australie. from left to right: Juan, at the time Feedback-bassist and my best friend from age 8 (he being 9) up until now, his then girlfriend Marian and Trees, Sister of then Feedback Singer Rene. In the background You spot Juan's brown VW-van. Probably he only picture in existence which shows this car in which we used to move around the band at the time. I remember Rene, Wouter and I playing cards in the back of the Van for money to pay for fuel. I should say the picture is from somewhere between 1976 up to 1978. In my memory Juan didn't own the VW (nicknamed the chocolade-bar) earlier than about 1976.

Saint Vitus, De Bilt The Netherlands 23-01-1982

Okay my very own collection of picks : top left the ones I use for Guitar, I alternate between them to not wear out to fast like the third top left which has become to little to hold. Then two basspicks, the top right pick is thinny which I us for twelve string. The other picks are old, I only occasionally use to test sounds or whatever. Middle row right is a metal pick to get a metal on metal sound (how about that?) And below two Shark fins 40 years ago I had the skinniest sharkfin I had ever seen colored blood red. I don't understand how I ever could have played with those!

An old Pressphoto: Saint Vitus 1981 or early 1982

The Fender Twin Reverb Head in the upper right corner with a Custom one Speaker cabinet used for gigs in smaller venues and rehearsal. The Black Amp is the Bass Amp Stage 100. from left to right: The Tele Custom with standard Rhythm PU, The Melody Blue Sage Nomad with alternate Art Pick Guard and a Square Rhythm PU and The Red Hofner Bass (Medium Scale)

Vox AC 30, the amp with a very distinctive character and tone. My amp caught fire and is in no working order but I still use the cabinet driven by the Vox Cambridge 15 or 30 amp

Marshall 2144 reverb, typical late 70s - early 80s gain control amp, probably one of the first models getting succes. There were two models of this amp: 2140 - no reverb and the 2144 with reverb, the latter one I had. It had 2xEL 34 giving 50 watts. I once played the 2150, the 100 watt version with a smaller but deeper housing. All nice amps but not quite delivering the rumble of a full stack or even a half stack.

Robert Moog's Lab Series L5 amp. From a time there was believe that There was no reason Most guitarists preferred Valve amps above Solid State ones. I kept dialing the controls to get the right sound, I finally sold it. The compressor, gain and frequency/midrange controls were nice features, though.

Power City 4x EL 34 amp. This one drove Goodmans 12" speakers in a home made cabinet. It survived an internal fire.

M3, My first ever Amp which taught me to turn the controls full up to the right.

Fender Washburn Epiphone

Met dank aan Hans Blieb http://fandalism.com/bliepertronic

Contemporary in 1976, Me with the pre-lawsuit Ibanez Les Paul Custom.

Contemporary Live 1976

Epiphone Sheraton II, all stock except for the lost pickguard. The Amplifier is a Vox Cambridge 30.

Melody Blue Sage Nomad Custom. An early 80's Made in Italy Guitar. It is customized with a Telecaster Rhythm Pu, Switched on/off with the master volpot and a Bill Lawrence L500 pu, which can be switched in humbucking or single coil mode or off. the master vol pot has a special capacitor wired to it that lets the high frequencies pass when the volume is down. The tone-pot (which can be switched off) can serve as a tone preset.

Late '72 Fender Telecaster Custom. Pre '61 lead pu, '87 Black Rose handwound rhythm pu, MIJ mid pu, Shift 2001 (Washburn-type) Wunderbar, master vol pot, mid vol phase reversal pot, mid pu tone pot. Refretted (jumbo wire) stabilized maple neck.

Marshall Channel switcher. A pedal with just one knob. It switches the pre-amp channels on the amplifier. Usually to change the sound from Rhythm (chords) to Solo (single string melodic playing) when a boost is needed. This pedal is very usable when playing festivals. There is a backline ready to plug in and most of the time they are Marshalls and the channel switcher is always missing. So I carry my own switcher with me, along with a guitar, a cord, a pick and a strap.

The Jimi Hendrix Cry-baby Wah! I think your grandma will know what this is!

A later programmable digital delay, also by Ibanez. You could program 'chains' of delay-patches. It was hard to remember how many times to press before You got the patch You wanted. The best was to use only three patches: 1.Long delay 2.short delay 3.off

One of the first usable Delay-pedals, could be wired in stereo. I used it quite a lot.

The Small Stone Phaser was the best of it's time. There were two versions, the 45 and the 90. I used the 90 for some time.

The Doctor Q was a very cool pedal! An envelope follower is a sort of auto-wha. The wah-effect follows the attacking of the strings. This was great for funk rhythm guitar.

The Mini Monacor was one of the first phase shifters, small and easy to carry along. Not to be used all the time!

The Jen Jumbo Fuzz produced to types of distortion: 1. Too much 2. Far too much In the 70s my friends said I sounded much better with it switched on. I thought I sounded better when it was switched of. After some months I had knocked all the sliders off and finally the foot-switch broke.

Jam session 1979

Feedback AKA Herrie&de Beukers 1982 Press Photo#2 When on request, Feedback resurrected itself in the form of "Herrie & the Beukers" All members had their own band: Jitte played Guitar in Frust (with Hans 'Blieb'), Jan & Rob were the Rhythm-tandem in Stress and Harry played Guitar in (Dutch) Saint Vitus. René was moving from one hardrock-outfit to another. Feedback or Herrie & de Beukers were more succesful then all those bands and were able to sell out the local venues, making the path free for starting acts.

Court of Session, Jazzband 1991

Kerozinekikkers, Maarssen Tom Okker Benefiet 2003. It is certain that when Rob Jaeger, former tenorsaxophonist dropped the name "Kerozinekikkers" (Fly Fuel Frogs) doubt's about a group name where non-existend ever since. A fact is that at the time he worked at an airport. When the group just started they played a composition with a Jumpy rhythm called "Kerozinekikkers". Sometimes the groups' name was spelled as "Kerozinekickers" and it was suggested that members would get a 'kick' out of inhaling Kerosene. However, this theory is not the most likely. In General, it is nowadays assumed that it comes to (Dutch) frogs that live in a kind of mixture of mud and kerosene. They are able to jump higher than any frog species and live through the most severe winters. As a matter of fact "Kerozine' is misspelled even in Dutch! Apparently in ten years, they never bothered to set that right.

Jezuz Kriziz Reunion Press-Photo 1990. Jezuz Kriziz knew two periods of existence, the initial period 1983-1986 and the reunion period 1990-1993. At the end of 1985 the most successful line-up of Nils Buis, Jitte Roosendaal and Harry Grünbauer broke up when Jitte decided to leave the band. 'Reunion Kriziz' contains the songs which were written during the reunion period, starting in 1990. The band eventually recruited Johan vd Zande as a drummer and In 1992, Kriziz morphed into 'Rockband Poppenkast', but that's another story. Harry Grünbauer left the band this time. 'Poppenkast' restarted with Rob Geerts on Bass and various other musicians.

Doeofjethuisband 1985, press-photo.'Doeofjethuisband' is Dutch and means something like 'act like if you are at home' Unfortunately this joke doesn't translate as funny. The right form of the verb 'to be' in dutch in the name of the band when you read it as a sentence is 'bent', which is phonetically the same as 'band'. I know jokes are never funny when they have to be explained, but well, we are not here to be joking anyway.

Feedback Live at Luilak 1979, 05:00 am Buitenveldert, Amsterdam. press-photo. Here we go back in time very far, when life was still simple. We are talking 1977 and real Dinosaurs might not have been around any longer and the electric guitar had already been invented. But there was a band with a heavy sound that sounded like a pre-historic monster: Feedback. Jan, René, Wouter, Stefan and Harry knew what Rock and Roll was.

Saint Vitus Live 1982 press-photo

Saint Vitus 1981, press-photo The characteristic Rock-Ska sound can't be found any better, anywere. The Band was founded November 15, 1982 by Bassist Peter De Bye and Guitarist Harry Grunbauer. With Erik-Jan de Wilde on Drums and Vocalist Stella Oelbers the first Line-up was completed. Take That Bridge (1982) - The second album in the original line-up was also released on their own label Bounty Records and came after an excellent debut. Nonetheless a worthy straight ahead rock/ska follow-up album only Saint Vitus could produce. 1983 was a confusing year for Saint Vitus, Erik Jan left and further recording was done with Rob Puik and sometimes André de Jager on drums and percussion. Bounty Records released a C90 cassette from a single Concert with Stella and Erik-Jan still in the Band. Meanwhile, Hans van de Groenekan became a permanent member on Keyboards. However Rob and André were still under contract with a band called Stress, so for live-gigs, Frits Schotsman was hired as a drummer.

Band of Victas - Tivoli Utrecht, 2013

Contemporary as a Quartet, 1976. Very little is known about Contemporary. They were active sometime between 1972 and 1976. They had a mixed repertoire of blues, jazz, rock and even classical tunes. They did compose a few titles themselves, and it lookes like Otto Grünbauer was their main writer. In 1977 Stefan & Harry went on to form the legendary hardrock-formation Feedback after Otto had left the band. Some of the Contemporary-tunes found their way in the Feedback repertoire.

Rollin' Me Down (van Basten) Sound Advice ©1995 ℗2000. 'Rollin' Me Down' is a rock 'n' Roll song about Rock 'n' Roll. It is here presented in a live-environment in a sort of medley with a beatles cover 'Twist and Shout' which comes with a strange latin-type romp. Soon becomes clear why this is, as the band suddenly jumps to 'La Bamba'.

Time (van Basten-Grunbauer) Kerozinekikkers ©2002. A very dynamic version of the Sound Advice song 'Time' by the Kerozinekikkers, recorded during a soundcheck for the preliminary rounds of the Grand Live Prix Utrecht 2006/2007

Straight No Chase (T. Monk) Kerozinekikkers 2000. Kerozinekikkers op Toernee (on Tour) was their first demo. It was all live recorded at the SJU-house in Utrecht, the local Jazz-temple.

Mean & Ugly (Grunbauer-van Basten) Sound Advice ©1996 ℗2000. Mean & Ugly, here presented as a live-take, was the title song for the 1996 Sound Advice album. Hans wrote the lyric, and he being a Beatle fan, I suppose he is talking about George Harrison....

No More Music (De Bye) Saint Vitus ©1983. With this tune coming right at the end of the evening, the band was pretty exhausted at this point. Nevertheless, the energy still comes across after all this time.

I Believe in You (De Bye-Oelbers) Saint Vitus ©1983. Another one from (Dutch) Saint Vitus. The lyric is from the Diva herself, who is a little over a year with the band at this point.

Make Your Move (De Bye-De Wilde-Grunbauer-Oelbers) Saint Vitus. This version of 'Make Your Move' comes from the 'Farewell Saint Vitus' tape and was truncated, like the "Eldorado' version. In this case, the first verse is missing and to reconstruct the original structure we changed the existing parts like this: verse two, verse three, instrumental bridge and then verse two again to get a lyric making some sense. In this version, original drummer and writer of the lyric Erik-Jan is replaced by Frits, who played several gigs as an stand-in when Erik-Jan had left the band.

For You the Tears (Grunbauer) Saint Vitus Live 1982. This is another 10 minute tour the force near the end of a concert. This time it is Saint Vitus, the dutch band, not the American doom-metal band we weren't aware of at the time. There's another drumsolo in here as well!

Wanna Make Love (Womack) - Blue Jeans & Black 1990. This Bobby Womack song is one of the nicest ones we had ever covered. The people loved it and it was on the playlist all the time. It was recorded live by Blue jeans & Black twice, in 1989 and in 1990, this is the latter one of the two.

Get Ready (S. Robinson) - Blue Jeans & Black. Always one of my favourites... this is the one with the drumsolo. This 1992 version, coming right at the end of the concert is the most energetic, with authentic vocals. I hope You enjoy these 11 minutes or so. The Band of Victas version has the Bass-solo and the original intro and free-style vocals. You can find it here: http://dev213.fandalism.com/nutking/cGre

Blue Hotel (Chis Isaak Cover) - Blue Jeans & Black 1992. This song stil has the spirit of the early 50s in it albeit originally released in 1986. I loved playing it in it's minor key and it's use of the tremolo dives. The solo I tried to keep in a traditional R'n'R -style. If i remember well. I used the little Vox Escort as a pre-amp to the AC 30, giving a somewhat fatter sound.

Proud Mary (Creedence Clearwater Revival Cover) - Blue Jeans & Black 1991. Of course this is one of the most covered songs in existence. Most famous are the versions by Creedence Clearwater Revival (the original) and by Tina Turner. This version contains elements of both.

Twilight Zone (Golden Earring Cover) - Blue Jeans & Black 1992.This song gave (dutch band) The Golden Earring a second international hit in the early eighties since Radar Love (1973). A great song to cover!

Bad Breaks (Solution Cover) - Blue Jeans & Black 1992. Solution was a originally instrumental Dutch band, in the 80s they had a sort of come back with their Bassist singing. We especially liked this song. I don't think we changed anything of the arrangement, so we sounded pretty much he same as Solution, except maybe for we had a female singer.

I can hear your Heartbeat (Chris Rea Cover) - Blue Jeans & Black 1989. These last two uploads contrast very much with the last upload before them, the punk-jam in the old Gas Plant. These two in a way contrast themselves as well in a way as well. Here are two funk-guitar styles. Heartbeat has a more legato style and Givin it up has a more staccato style. If You play Heartbeat first followed by Giving' it up they are connected by two contrasting parts of a drumsolo.

Givin' it Up (Delbert mc. Clinton Cover) - Blue Jeans & Black 1989. Things were getting better for me when I was recruited for this band. There's no Guitarsolo here, but the Guitar sounds clean and happy!

Fly Away Jam - The Abandoned Gas Plant 1988. This was definitively the lowest point of my musical life and my life in general as well. I was arrested four times during the period, for stealing a bottle of vintage Wine (and drinking it with some ‘friends’), for drug possession and not be able to prove I had borrowed the Bike I had with me from a good Friend, for trespassing and for hoboing from Utrecht to Amsterdam were I lived with Yasin, a Somalian Musician refugee. He had just fired me from his band for the umpteenth time. I had no Job, no money and several of my Guitars were stolen. It was Francis, a classical Guitarplayer gone electric who invited me and my Vox AC 30 to a Jamsession in this abandoned Gasplant in Utrecht on New Years Eve 1988. I knew half the musician who were there to Jam and there were some others. I forgave basin for firing me and asked him to come as well. Francis said we could eat and drink so that was something to look forward to. I took my one Telecaster to the venue as well which was packed with basically all white punks on dope, so to speak. Around midnight I spotted Hans, a Bassplayer I had seen and heard a few times at the sessions. However I had never played with him before. I said let’s find a drummer and You know Francis right? He said: don’t worry, You’re in, I have it all mapped out. Francis had his souped up Fender Champ and his wooden pick along with his Telecaster, there was a drumset, a Peavey Bassamp, Peavey vocal pillars and of course my Vox. Hans had indeed mapped out things. He came up with a bass player and a drummer i did not know and he was going to sing himself. So we jammed about half an hour around midnight and I thought it sounded terrible but the atmosphere was quite relaxed. The jam was supposed to be a country song in E and by sign of hand we got up to A and back (or something like that). I was bad. I didn’t remember anything afterwards when Yasin came to me and said: ‘I heard Your solo, man, You’re in my band again!’ I said ‘what solo? I didn’t play one!’ Some Guy gave me a tape of the evening which ended on the shelves of Nutking Records (formerly Bounty Records) And I had to find out what solo Yasin was referring to. It is here at 4:12 in the Video but it was really Ben and Rob starting this band Blue jeans and Black who dragged me out of the Swamp I was in at the time. Mind You, this Jam isn’t for sensible ears, I was really gone to the Dogs at this point in Time, You can hear them bark at Me.

Can't take my Eyes off You (Frankie Valli Cover) - De Kerozinekikkers. I have added this bootleg quality recording as a bonus, De Kerozinekikkers started as a jazz-ensemble, then began to be recognised as a Jazz-fusion instrumental band developing a very funky sound and finally morphed into a top 40 cabaret-act. I lost all interest when I found out all originals were dropped from the setlist for a gig in Rotterdam.

Soap Opera Blues (Otis Clay Cover) - Blue Jeans & Black. I must admit at Times I watch TV constantly while practising my Guitar. However, I never watch Soap Opera's, I hate them! So I can relate to that with Otis Clay who wrote the Tune. The Band, again is Blue Jeans & Black. To add to the domestical atmosphere (we are watching TV) I try to imitate the sound of a singing teakettle in the solo at the end of the track.

Barefootin' (Robert Parker Cover) - Blue jeans & Black 1989. It is thursday, so another (Rhythm &) Blues Tune! Robert Parker played saxophone in the band of professor Longhair in 1949. His biggest hit was 'Barefootin'' from 1965. he was Born in 1932.

One Good Man (Janis Joplin Cover) - Blue Jeans & Black 1991 .Another one from the early days. The band is here in it's final line up. Charlotte vocals, Ben drums, Rob Bass, Paul Keys and Me on Guitar. This a Blues.

Touch (Outsiders Cover) - Blue Jeans & Black 1989. The original Wally Tax and the Outsiders single was released in 1966. Blue Jeans & Black apparently tried to upgrade the tune with some 10 years, making it sound like a 70s performance. Drummer Ben is clearly the driving force behind this (then) new arrangement. And, despite it is a one take just to remind us how we should've played it (I can't remember any occasion were we did it) It has quite some energetic atmosphere making up for the hit and miss moments of this recording.

Everybody's Free to Feel Good (Rozalla cover) - Blue Jeans & Black. Rozalla is a Zimbabwean Singer who came at age 24 to London in 1991 and recorded the song to have a world-wide Hit with it. To be honest, I would never heard of it if I wasn't in this band who wanted to cover it. Although I hardly knew what to play at first when we performed the song, I gradually began to like it and this final arrangement still stands out, I guess.

Saint Vitus - The Squirrel & the Rabbit (De Bye/Grunbauer) ©1982. Another funny tune! This was found on the original tapes from the first Saint Vitus demo, but never intended for inclusion. Hope You enjoy Peter (right channel) and me (left channel) playing Guitar on this 1982 instrumental little tune.

Kriziz - Little Fridge (Bontan/Buis/Roosendaal) ©1991. This is the Studio-recording of this funny song, synced to the live-footage from their concert at the Free Floor on 25-01-1991. The Live audio was spoiled by some weird echo, making it unlistenable. The introduction and the applause at the end are from the actual concert. I doubt it wether the song was presented as an encore that night since it doesn't seem logical. In the recording of the full concert there seem signs, also in the audio that it is edited. The Lyric by the way, was written by the the 4 or 5 near old daughter of the singer. You can hear her in the a capella section at the end. Enjoy!

White Christmas (Irving Berlin arr. Henri Grunbauer) 2018. ...and a Merry Christmas!

Would I do it another Way? (Henri Grünbauer) ©2018. A song about a life-long friendship. The refrain is actually a Jazz-chords progression: Ebmaj7 | D7b10 | G7b9 | Cm7/9 | Fmaj7 | G6 | Bb6 | A7 | F7 | Bb7 | A7(b9) | Dm7/9 | Gm7 | Cm7 | F#7b5 | B7sus4-B7 | Em7 | Em7 | B7 | B7b9 | Em7 | Em7 | A7 | A7b10 |....riffs are in Dm. More songfacts on Youtube.

Under My Thumb (Jagger/Richards) 1966 -Sound Advice 1991. This is probably a test recording to set the levels right on a portable-studio for a demo recording of original songs. It is quite amazing it wasn't erased, since it is from the taping days. It is even more amazing it was mixed and digitalised around the turn of the century. But here it is, a Rolling Stones Cover... I can hear I do the singing, the Slide Guitar (all the way through!) and the Bass, but I can't remember who did the Bongo's. I hope You enjoy!

Tonights Brightest Star (Henri Grünbauer) ©2018.Dance, Dance, Dance! No better thing than when you and your dance-partner get this feeling. If you missed it yesterday-night, tonights the night!

Walking Away - (Henri Grünbauer) ©2018. I realised all my electric tracks where in 4/4 time so this ballad I did in a very slow 6/8 time. Quite inspiring it is, there are always new ways to explore in Music.

Borrowed Time - (Henri Grünbauer) ©2018. An all new song on a theme as old as Humanity. Hope You Enjoy!

Back to Hell (Henri Grünbauer) ©1986 ℗2018. The version with vocals of this tune. Back to Hell tells the story about a musician who sold his soul to the devil, ends up in hell, then persuades the devil to get a second chance among the living. But proves unable to change himself other then warning the others to not do what he did and finally ends up in the eternal fires again.

Bunch of Tunch (Grünbauer / van Basten) ©1994 ℗2018. This song was first distributed through their E- Magazine 'De Kerozinekrant' as an mp3 single by De Kerozinekikkers in 2002. It also appeared on their CD 'Kwaak'. However, the song was much older, written in 1994 by Hans van Basten (who came up with the bass-riff and the chords) and myself, who wrote the words and arranged the Guitar-parts. When I had posted the acoustic version, I think it was Stig, a native English speaker, who said he never heard of the word "Tunch". A quick google learns us the word does not officially exist. However, I am pretty sure I picked the word up from some obscure American soul-artist, who's name unfortunately slipped my memory.

Weird World (Hans van Basten) ©1997 ℗2018. This song Hans wrote for Sound Advice and he was singing it himself, but it never got recorded. When Hans had left the band, we did get a new drummer and we also needed new repertoire because we lost our lead singer too. I figured out I could do this song too and I liked it so much that it was even done by the Kerozinekikkers nearly a decade later. This is the definitive studio-version for which I made a special arrangement.

By Accident (Grünbauer/Roest) ©1998 ℗2018. For this definitive Video version of 'By Accident' I had to go back in time to feel and play as it used to be. Surprisingly my Hair naturally grew and colored as it once was! The only thing I couldn't find in today's Shops was a vintage rubber band to hold it together in a Ponytail like I used to.

One Of A Kind (Grünbauer / Khasim / Termaat) ©1995 ℗2018. One of a Kind was written for Sound Advice in 1995 as Quartet for Drums, Bass Guitar and Vocals. The song was, with a different bass-part to match the sound of the the group Sound Advice (1996) and again a different (acoustic) bass-part to match the sound of De Kerozinekikkers (1999), made suitable for their setlists. By the turn of the century the song was adapted to include parts for Violin and Flute. These parts were played by The Guitar-Twin in the all instrumental 2016 version. This new 2018 version has the original lyrics and only the short opening phrase done in twin mode. It also sports the energetic slap-bass part as per the 1995 version.

Maybe there's a Way (Henri Grünbauer) ©1991 ℗2018. I wrote this song when I had plans to start up my band Sound Advice in the early '90s. The Bass-part was especially written for my student Lenne who appeared on the original recording. In this acoustic version the Spanish Guitar-part hints to the bass-part during the instrumental passages. The song wasn't on the repertoire for more than a few Years when it was replaced by "One of a Kind'. I picked it up for the acoustic repertoire recently.

Heaven on their Minds (Lloyd-Webber / Rice) 1970 cover from 'Jesus Christ Superstar'

The Clue (Henri Grunbauer) ©2018 when I tell I play Guitar that’s when someone says I Have a song for You I wrote so long ago Can i hold it, to Show You how it sounds It’s so emotional I was feeling so low R.: I said I don’t know what d’You want work it out or just drop it here Let us really lent our ear Or do You want me just to give a hand That’s when someone says I’ve one for sale A real class axe really bucks the hum Needs new strings but that’s about all I’ll make a good price for a good chum Then there’s this man saying he will help He’s gonna legalise what I do And says that ’ll make us lots of money If You change this or that You’ll get the clue

What's in a Game (Henri Grunbauer) ©2018. https://henrigrunbauer.wixsite.com/nutking A confusing song about modern digital times.

Substance Happy (Henri Grunbauer) ©2018 A song about addiction. It could happen to You. Another video of me handling instruments didn't appeal much to me. Neither did ripping video's of over- or underdosed people from internet. I don't think people in such state have much free will to agree publication of this footage. Since this song is a bonus track from the 'Black Hole' album, I decided to use the song as a promo. The Lyric is in the comments an speaks for itself. The album is available via my website: https://henrigrunbauer.wixsite.com/nutking

We Wish You a Merry Christmas 2017.

Lady Talk (Grünbauer / Termaat) ©2017. This is the hybrid electric/acoustic version of this song. This song was written in the late 90s and dedicated to Joes Kloppenburg, a victim of random violence. To complete the song, a third verse was added, this verse I wrote just a few months before the #MeToo thing went viral.

Time - Henri M. Grünbauer / Hans van Basten ©1994 ℗2017. A new acoustic/electric version with vocals of this song. Time was put together on an sunny afternoon in the back garden. Even the neighbors seemed to like it, they didn't sent any police officier!

Cruise on Out with Me (Henri Grünbauer) ©1989 ℗2017. This Blues-Rock Tune really came about as a Song, I started singing it when I had one of those long Bike-Journeys in the late 80's. I included some pictures of Jan Ensink (drums) and Dirk van Burken (Bass), that is because I hope they have found each other in Heaven and that they are jammin' together there. This Tune I dedicate to them.

Sound Advice - Weird World (van Basten) ©1997. This song Hans wrote for Sound Advice and he was singing it himself, but it never got recorded. When Hans had left the band, we did get a new drummer and we also needed new repertoire because we lost our lead singer too. I figured out I could do this song too and I liked it so much that it was even done by the Kerozinekikkers until nearly a decade later.

Numbers are for Dumbo's (Henri Grünbauer) ©1998 ℗2017. A song about the feeling You get when You are no more than a number for certain people. Especially if You need them.

Society (Buis/Grünbauer) ©1986 ℗2017. This lyric from Nils proves to be more actual then ever. Actually, most of the music is Nils too. I just came up with the four chords for the verses and made the Guitar arrangements for this recording.

13 Houses (Henri Grünbauer) ©℗2017. A new song build around about the many Houses I lived in on a recycled Bass-riff from about 1984. This is the complete version with all the Audio and Video. I couldn't find pictures of all 13 Houses, but the ones that are in de Video give a bit of an impression.

Talking for Days (Henri Grünbauer) ©℗2017. This is the full electrified version of 'Talking for Days'. It features an acoustic intro, an extended middle eight solo and a different solo at the ending in comparison with the mp3 single.

Black Hole - Grunbauer/Roest ©2017. The Lyric of Black Hole is about an Astronaut who has navigated somewere in space to close to a Black Hole and then realises he has crossed the point of no return.

Play Chuck B Play - Henri Grunbauer ©2017. Just a Salute...

One Night - (Henri Grunbauer) ©2017 An all new Song!

Let's go to the Woods (Grünbauer/van Basten) ©2017. A song about one of the darkest parties I ever attended...

Why (De Bye / vd Klundert / Grünbauer) ©1980 ℗2017. This ballad now sung with new lyrics...

Mystery Girl - Henri Grünbauer (Grünbauer/Roest) ©1998 ℗2017. A Song about a Girl, I wonder if She exists...... Mystery Girl is an attempt to write a popsong for the group Sound Advice when they were back to trio format again. Bassist Marco Roest wrote the heavy bridge to connect the Guitarparts and is therefore credited.

Hard Times - Henri M. Grünbauer / Dirk van Burken ©1992 ℗2017. Hard Times is dedicated to Dirk van Burken (13/05/1954-01/05/1986) The instrumental track was recorded in 2016, the Vocals in 2017.

Borrowed Time - (Henri Grunbauer) ©2017. An all new song! You said You love me and You said don't When we are together it can be a Crime You want me to leave You but Yet I won't 'Cause we are living in Borrowed Time. It is said that I'm learning this that I am Sick What did I deserve I won't feel worth a Dime I'm sure I will overcome Yet I give up 'Cause I am living in Borrowed Time. Now when I am gone it don't matter anymore 'Cause we're living on like in a rhyme The tears we will forget and the smiles be remembered cause we're living in Borrowed time.

Lady Talk (Grünbauer / Termaat) ©2017. This Song was written some time ago but wasn't finished nor recorded properly. To complete de song, a third verse was added.

Mystery Girl - Henri Grünbauer (Grünbauer/Roest) ©1998 ℗2017. A Song about a Girl, I wonder if She exists......

Numbers are for Dumbo's (Henri Grünbauer) ©1998 ℗2017. A song about the feelingYou get when You are no more than a number for certain people. Especially if You need them.

Second Coming (Alice Cooper cover) 1971. Second Coming is a song from the original Alice Cooper Band's album 'Love it to Death' It precedes 'Ballad of Dwight Free'. The Lyric seems to be about the Second Coming of Christ (or somebody who thinks he is Christ) an his observations of false Prophecy going on. The Video is edited in a way the instrumental parts are easy to follow in case You want to play the Guitar-part. Generally it is a one-take recording with the exception of a few additional bass notes along the bended notes in the Guitar-part. When I tried to play hem simultaneously, the extra tension caused by the bending resulted in de bass-notes dropping a quarter step in pitch, so I couldn't do that.

Apologize Blues - (Henri Grunbauer) ©1994 ℗2017. Those who know me, don't see me as a Blues-man pur sang, but rather see me as a Rocker, a Classical Guitarist or even a producer of Motown-type tracks. This however is the deepest Blues I can feel…

Talking for Days (Henri Grünbauer) ©1997 ℗2017. This lyric might need a little explanation for the younger generations. What is an 'Answering Machine'? In the '80s and early '90s Telephones were still cable-driven fixed devices in people's home. If You could afford it however, analog 'voicemail' was available via a tape operated (compact-cassette) system. These were called 'Answering Machines' If You were losing your Love and tried to get in Phone-contact, these machines with pre-recorded voice were just about as cruel all todays Voicemail!

Bunch of Tunch (Grunbauer/van Basten) ©2002 ℗2017. And the acoustic take on this 2002 Kerozinekikkers mp3 single...https://youtu.be/G5GIfOuZrTQ

Cruise on Out with Me (Henri Grünbauer) ©1992 ℗2017. A Blues-Rock type of song played acoustically. The electric version can be found here: https://youtu.be/nItuey8tvks

Heaven on their Minds (Lloyd-Webber/Rice) 1970. This is a song from the Musical "Jesus Christ Superstar" as sung by Judas.

Society (Buis/Grünbauer) ©1986 ℗2017. This lyric from Nils proves to be of more actual relevance then ever. While I play the accompaniment on a Western Guitar, I like the improvised solo come from a Latin Guitar.

Maybe there's a Way (Henri Grünbauer) ©1991 ℗2017. I wrote this song when I had plans to start up my band Sound Advice in the early '90s. The Bass-part was especially written for my student Lenne who appeared on the original recording. In this acoustic version the Spanish Guitar-part hints to the bass-part during the instrumental passages. The song wasn't on the repertoire for more than a few Years when it was replaced by "One of a Kind'. I picked it up for the acoustic repertoire recently.

Time - Henri M. Grünbauer / Hans van Basten ©1994 ℗2017. Time was put together on an sunny afternoon in the back garden. Even the neighbors seemed to like it, they didn't sent any police officier! This acoustic version comes as close as possible to the original way we did it. Originally Hans sang his Lyric, but unfortunately we didn't record it....

One of a Kind (Grünbauer / Khaasim / Termaat) ©1995 ℗2017.This song is finally added to the acoustic repertoire!

Let's go to the Woods (Grünbauer/van Basten) ©1998 ℗2016. This song was a Sound Advice original. When Hans came up with some chords for me to play on the Guitar, I already had the lyrics. I can't remember why or when I wrote them or what they're about. Recently my Son told me about some Party he had with friends in the Woods which was so badly organised, they had forgotten they would need some light in the middle of the Night. That made me realise the lyric must be about that sort of a Party. Since We of course didn't have any cellphones back then, We would have to Party in complete darkness!

Auld Lang Syne (Scottish Hymne) 2016

Black Hole (Roest/Grünbauer/Ensink) ©1997 ℗2016. The Lyric of Black Hole is about an Astronaut who has navigated somewere in space to close to a Black Hole and then realises he has crossed the point of no return. The electric version can be found here: https://youtu.be/THyeBc3yGRs

A Million Miles Away (Rory Gallagher cover) 1974. Two reasons to do this tune: I'm a Million Miles Away to most of You and I found out why I dig this tune so much. This can be found in the line "I lost my Captain and my Crew" The song is about the feelings of a Sailor who shipwrecked. This is what happened to My (German) great-great-grandfather. After his later death at sea his Diary was returned to his (dutch) Wife and sole Son, with a detailed discription what happened. Through Rory's song with its challenging Guitar playing, I got the picture of a shipwrecked Sailor complete. Sailor 'John' Grünbauer looked like this: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=495658233795949&set=a.190114037683705.52068.100000553315870&type=3&theater

Why - De Bye / vd Klundert / Grünbauer ©1982 ℗2016. The unplugged version of this relationship drama...

Hard Times - Henri M. Grünbauer / Dirk van Burken ©1985 ℗2016. The acoustic version of this song. Hope You enjoy!

Me & Bobby mc Ghee (Kris Kristofferson 1970) Cover. This is just a tune I like to do. My version of course comes nowhere near Janis Joplin's and it is about twice as fast as the original by Kris Kristofferson. I don't sing very often, mostly just to show how I want to do a particular song. Anyway, I hope You find this listenable...

Romance (Niccolò Paganini 1782-1840) This piece is part of the Grande Sonata per Chitarre. In the original score there is also a accompaniment for Violin present, this is however so minimalistic that it is often left out in concert. Paganini is of course the most famous (and technically accomplished) Violinist of all time and it is only in recent times that his works for Guitar get some recognition. This recording is from 2013. I enhanced the audio a little bit. Enjoy!

Mystery Girl - Henri Grünbauer (Grünbauer/Roest) ©1998 ℗2016. Mystery Girl is an attempt to write a popsong for the group Sound Advice when they were back to trio format again. So there are lyrics to it, but this is an instrumental studio version which clears out the melody. In the video appears no girl, so it will remain a mystery who she really is. bassist Marco Roest wrote the heavy bridge to connect the Guitarparts and is therefore credited.

Lift off (Henri M. Grünbauer / C. Kamminga) ©2002 ℗2016. Lift off was written for The Kerozine Kikkers when they started out as a Jazzband. Originally there was just the Chords (Am Dm E7 Am (2x) D7 G7 C7 F7 B7 B7 E A) and the noodling about on the Melody. It wasn't until Caroline came up with thundering opening chords (E F# Bm etc.) before Lift off became the opener for the Set.

Time - Henri M. Grünbauer / Hans van Basten ©1994 ℗2016 Time Time is standing by you side Like an old man in a whisper A young boy by his side Lightin' up his Cigarette Watching a million Stars fall down Like Diamonds on a Crown *From the Shelter of my Eyes I keep watching at the World and I know I won't be sad 'cause I am the Watcher...... Of the World He wanders into Space and Time Is no Judge of Love or Crime He answers to No One Though he must know about all Knowing Winter, Knowing Fall I Guess he was always there *From the Shelter of my Eyes I keep watching at the World and I know I won't be sad 'cause I am the Watcher...... Of the World

Dutch Delta Blues - Henri Grünbauer ©℗2016. When I discovered the Blues, I was already about 15 Years old and spent hours listening to Mississippi John Hurt, Libba Cotton and Doc Watson. This type of Delta picking I learned to play via tune like "Deep River Blues' "Powder Rag' and 'Freight Train'. In The Netherlands we too have a Delta at the Zeeland District, very different from the Mississippi Delta, but both Delta's inspired me to write this little tune. I play it on the Eko six-string. In preparation I had to shift the Guitar's neck-angle to get a playable action. During the recording I was trying to hypnotize the Cat which was making noises to spoil the recording. That explains the mad look in my eyes from time to time.

La Connection Française - Henri Grünbauer ©℗2016. Of course I have been working on it for some two weeks, first in my head on how to connect the riffs and what sort of beat I should use. The Drums and Bass both took a session of a few hours, then I took two sessions to practice and complete the Guitar part and record it, meaning there is a studio version which I will put on soundcloud after some final mixing. But at that point I had no Video so I took the challenge to record a Guitar in one take. I is just what it is, Just Guitar, bass and drums, no rhythm Guitar, other dubbing or fancy video edits.

When Funk gets Heavy it Rocks (Henri M. Grünbauer) ©℗2016. When Funk gets Heavy it Rocks is an all new instrumental tune and as the title suggests a cross-over from two musical styles. I always liked bringing these two together.

Kong! (Henri M. Grünbauer) ©2003 ℗2016. Kong! was composed when I played this Atari-game all the time. The first theme (which is only played once) is heard after the game starts up. It is the game where You have to climb stairs to rescue a princess. A monkey, who holds her, throws all sorts of things on your path. The music was composed for 'De Kerozinekikkers' who were working on a Jazz-repertoire at the time. Although the composition was finished and rehearsed, it was never performed live and there was never a recording other than a Notator-songfile on my Ataricomputer. It consisted of a melody, a bassline, drums and the chords, which is a rare keyboard part. The remaining notes stayed in my head for thirteen years and are finally properly recorded for the first time.
