Amsterdam, De Oude Stad, October 5, 1985,
Where I started my first trip to Europe. Of course I visited the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh
Museum, Ann Frank’s house and partied in the Leidesplein.
Met an English guy while sitting on a bench in the Leidesplein one night by the name of Aynsley Dunbar. He said he was there to cut a a new album with a band called White Snake. I'd never heard of them at the time. Turns out the album "1987" was a big hit for them at the time
What I really appreciated about the city was the color or the brick and
the quality of the light.
When I look at
painting by Johannes Vermeer I feel like I’m back in Holland. A beautiful country.
