They say: it’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey. Modern Freak Show is not only a musical document, it’s the result of a personal odyssey. In the absence of innate or acquired bravado, I had to conquer my inner demons to realize my dream. But that would not have been possible without a steady base to depart from; friends and family that supported me throughout my journey.To Ran, Arjan, Karin, Hans, Harold, Helga and the many others who supported me and my music: thank you so much!Scott William Blick; thank you very much for your positive feedback and help with the texts.I bow deeply for Peter Kortleve, his positive energy and his graphical skills. Berno van der Wal; thank you for your motivation, help and of course the wonderful pictures. This album would never have been here, were it not for the fantastic Rogier Hemmes; thank you for everything and then some!Thanks to my sponsors: Café In de Buurt, Ran & Florine, Bouwbedrijf Marcel Trieling, Jomago Administratiekantoor, Charme Expressie en Theater Landgoedcamping and all crowdfunders, big and small. And finally… What’s a man without the love of his life… Linda, I love you!
