A Dutch famous charismatic poet, musician, performer and jazz lover has died today.
I am somewhat saddened by this news. I grew up with his poetry and music. My mother loved charismatic, somewhat weird artists and always taught me to appreciate these kind of great artists.
Jules Deelder night mayor
He was a very striking appearance. Well and fast spoken too! Never shy and always able talking back rapidly!
He was well known as the night mayor if Rotterdam. Mostly because he gave night life in Rotterdam a boost with his appearance and performances.
I listened to his record
As a coincidence I have listened his record just the other day on my turntable. Will do that again tonight.
Rip Jules Deelder
