Filling a request for 'The Story Of The Blues" compilations which was like a visit to an old friend that I hadn't seen in years.
It been more than 30 years since these LP's left the shelf and were dusted off. They where my introduction to the Blues way back in the late late 60's/early 70's.
When I was young I was an avid buyer of the Animals, Yardbirds, Pretty Things, Jimi Hendrix etc but had never listened to where their music came from. This went on until one night when I was listening to a Dutch radio late night show. Paul Oliver was interviewed and played some tracks. I can't remember what he played but all I do know is that it expanded the music I listened to. My mind exploded as I heard a track and thought to myself that this is what Hendrix was doing with "Red House". Next day I bought my first Blues LP and it was "The Story Of The Blues".
Since then it's been an off and on affair but I always come back to my first two loves ... Hendrix and Blues. Can never get enough of them.

You might been thinking what this got to do with a Blues Blog, well this old farm is where it all happens.
The foto, taken in the 30's, is where we have been living for the last 15 years. The canal is still there with a bridge over it for the car, the plank has long gone. In the summer small boats use the canal to enter a far larger canal system in a nature area, in the winter, with luck, one can skate and once a year it is used as part of a survival run. A nice Frisian village of about 400 people that is not to far from the local city... nothing is far from anything in the Netherlands.
Thank you for all your kind comments. There where a couple of questions so I'll answer them, no windmills in the direct vicinity but there is a nice one in Dokkum (look it up), Ureterp is only a 20 minute drive for us so you where not far off and clogs (klompen) are still worn by farmers, working in the garden or just aroud the village. You won't see them that often in the towns. About 10 km from us is a small clogmaker who does it using hand tools (https://www.klompen.frl/ ). They are all decorated in the local design and are the ideal gift for visitors from abroad.
