De legendarische muzikant en producer Giorgio Moroder geeft na het razendsnel uitverkopen van zijn eerste concert op maandag 15 april 2019 een extra concert in Paradiso. De inmiddels 78-jarige Italiaan is behaalde zijn grootste succes met nummers  zoals ‘I Feel Love’ van Donna Summer, ‘Call Me’ van Blondie en meer recent nog ‘Giorgio by Moroder’ van Daft Punk.

De concerten in Paradiso markeren een bijzonder moment in de 55-jarige carrière van Giorgio Moroder. De dance-pionier gaat in 2019 voor het eerst met een liveshow op tour door Europa. Op het podium wordt Giorgio Moroder ondersteund door zijn band en vocalisten, waarmee hij zijn klassiekers en recent werk speelt. Dit uiteraard met behulp van de voor zijn sound zo kenmerkende instrumenten: De vocoder, een ruime catalogus aan elektronische effecten en geluiden en natuurlijk de piano en synthesizer.

Zelf zegt Moroder over zijn liveshow: “It is something I have always wanted to do, fans kept reaching out to me, asking if I would ever do a real tour. Back in the days it was unthinkable for producers to ever leave their studios. That territory was reserved for the singers. Today, DJ’s and music producers have become the superstars of popular dance music, so the time feels right and I am so excited to be finally doing this!”

Giorgio Moroder staat bekend als één van de grondleggers van de dance en disco. Hij was één van de eerste producers die de synthesizer combineerde met een repetitieve beat. In de jaren ’70 vierde Giorgio Moroder grote successen als schrijver en producer voor Donna Summer. Dit leidde tot vele muzikale samenwerkingen met grote namen zoals Blondie, Cher, David Bowie, Debbie Harry, Freddie Mercury, Bonnie Tyler en Pat Benetar. Ook is hij verantwoordelijk voor de soundtracks van vele iconische speelfilms uit de jaren ‘80, zoals American Gigolo, Cat People, Scarface, Electric Dreams, The Never Ending Story, Top Gun en Midnight Express.

In 2013 werkte Giorgio Moroder samen met Daft Punk voor het nummer ‘Giorgio by Moroder’, van het hitalbum ‘Random Access Memories’. In 2015 bracht Giorgio Moroder nog een studioalbum uit. Op ‘Déjà vu’ werkt hij samen met o.a. Sia, Charli XCX, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears en Kelis.

Ham Radio saves the day

Ham Radio saves the day. Yes, todays technology has advanced to the cell phone, internet and more, but only Ham Radio can save the day when the cell phones and internet are down and many people are without power for communications.

Zo dat was even wat film materiaal uit de oude doos. Best wel even leuk om tegen te komen op het internet.

If you are a Jeep fan, then you love the Jeep Willys, but have you ever wondered who Willy is?

John North Willys was born in 1873, on October 25th to be specific, in Canandaigua, New York. Willys started selling bicycles at a young age, which then evolved into building his own bicycles. At the age of 24, John Willys married Isabel Van Wie.

John Willys had a huge passion for his work, which was selling and manufacturing bicycles, and by the time he reached 27 years of age in 1900, he had built his bicycle business to $500,000 in sales. On a visit to Cleveland, Willys saw his first automobile, and he decided that cars will soon replace bicycles for him.

John Willys wanted to take his automotive empire to the next level, and instead of just buying cars and selling them, he wanted to make his own brand. In 1913, Willys bought the Edwards Motor company, and the business decision gave him the license to build the Knight sleeve valve engine. He started manufacturing the Knight engine and did a solid job keeping the costs down, and the profits up.

After the issues with Walter Chrysler, Willys started expanding the company once again when he bought the F.J. Stearns company in 1925, a company that specialized in luxury vehicles. Just one year after acquiring the company, John Willys introduced the Whippet line of vehicles to continue expanding his empire.

Jeep enters our language

In early 1941 Willys-Overland held a press event in Washington D.C. to show off the capability of the new military scout vehicle that was known as a “jeep” or quad. What followed was the vehicle driving up the Capitol steps driven by Irving “Red” Hausman who was part of the Willys development team.  Hausman had also been present when the car was testing at Camp Holabird and said he overheard soldiers there referring to the strange new car as a jeep. At the press unveiling in Washington, he was asked by a Daily News reporter what was the machine called he replied: “it’s a jeep”.  That excerpt can be found for Jeep historians on February 20th, 1941 accompanied by a photo of the Jeep showing off on the steps. That moment is believed to be the origin of the term entering the American lexicon.

The next time you get in your Jeep, smile and say a quick thank you to John Willys. The times are forever changing but the Jeep is forever.
