You're welcome Lancey. The song was hot and so was the band. I have been a fan of Dutch groups since I first heard The George Baker Selection, then Tee Set, Golden Earring and then Shocking Blue.

I don't know much about Dutch music, but I always enjoyed the music of Bo Hansson. He was from Sweden. I still have his 'Music Inspired by Lord of the Rings' and 'Magician's Hat' albums. They came out in the early '70s and I found them when I was looking for more 'Tubular Bells'-type music back then.

Not often does the subject of Dutch 70s groups come up so I have to chime in about "Mouth and McNeil" (sp) who had a one-hit wonder called "How Do You Do". It's the most schizophrenic pop hit of all time, combining pounding rock music with interludes of vocal and strings. Worth a listen.

Golden Earring is timeless. I still have to open the car window and sing when "Radar Love" comes on the radio.
