Stefan van de Sande, Troubadour & Songwriter

November Blues

Somewhere in a forest in Central Europe I wrote and recorded this November Blues. The idea for the song started at 31 October when the weather was unbelievable good and warm when I was still in Holland. The next day it started to rain finally and it was welcome for the dry and thursty clay. Some days later I had my birthday and of course there was pie and cream.

A blues isn't one when there is no drama in it. Most of the time it is in a certain way the truth and hard reality, but happily it is not always that bad like it is sung.

Instead of using one of my Martin guitars I am playing an afordable but good ukulele because of the weather I couldn't take my guitar with me. For sure the song will be recorded on my new album with guitar and bluesharp.

For the purpose and for the setting it is all fine like this. No complicated things and no special equipment, just a cell-phone in an outside setting.

I hope you enjoy the video and if you are interested in a live performance then look on 'events' where I play this winter and next year or just contact me for a music event at home, in your club or restaurant.

"Seine Begleitarrangements sind unglaublich gefühlvoll, fliessend und emphatsch gespielt. Die Gitarre klingt so natürlich und unaufdringlich und bleibt trotzdem immer im Vordergrund. Ich kenne wirklich kaum jemanden, der so variatonsreich in den Details und selbstverständlich Songs begleitet. Seine Texte sind lyrisch und haben Inhalt. Die Cd hat mich sehr beeindruckt." Yasmin aus Deutschland.
