Not only Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens, but also New Jersey, New Brunswick, Orange and more. Instead of going home after New Orleans as planned I decided to lengthen my trip with almost a week and visit New York again. The best decision ever. I met […]
It is so true, live music is everywhere in New Orleans; on every corner of the street, in every bar and even in museums. My time in ‘The Big Easy’ is coming to an end, so I spent my last days wisely. Looked in the […]
When hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans in 2015 a big part of the city got destroyed. Two years after the hurricane two United Methodist congregations less than one mile apart from each other merged into one. The remnant of First UMC, an historically white congregation, and […]

Door de plenzende regen fietst gitarist Rory Ronde van oost naar het ‘Wilde Westen’ om met mij te kletsen. Hij zegt geruststellend dat de beweging goed voor hem is. Deze inspirerende, autodidacte en authentieke musicus is behoorlijk druk bezet en reist van Amsterdam naar Japan […]
