Muziekdoos


Zo lang geleden
Tony was my friend,and has been my inspiration ever since we shared a life in Antwerp with Tommy
and Sonja,Robin Rowley, Mieke and Eric, the two Ingrids,Vivien, Fidler John, Callum, Paddy Tinsley,
Vera of the mural wall, Frederica and the kids......the nights at Etiene's "Muziekdoos", the Billekletser
where I cooked, Dave Greerley, Scots Greg.......six memorable years on another planet, zo lang
geleden...........

As I now tell of that time to my teenage daughter, she finds that whacky world all hard to believe.
She trawls the Internet and returns yelling "it's all true, I found Tony Mafia" I am indebted to her I.T.
skills to help me with this blogpost.

I heard of Derrols death on the radio just a couple of years ago, and of Tony's just last night.
