#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,752 Posted August 22, 2016 Author Share Posted August 22, 2016 Many Dutchies (and possibly Belgians) will fondly remember Toot's soulful solo's for the deliberately corny and sentimental theme for the TV show Baantjer.

Thor 9,194 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Yeah, saw this over at FSM. Sad news, but impressive age! He got to live a full and rewarding life, and belongs in the pantheon of world class harmonica players alongside Tommy Morgan and Sigmund Groven. I'm mostly familiar with his two collaborations with Williams (SUGARLAND and CINDERELLA LIBERTY). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,757 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 gonna watch the news now ... it should start with Toots. OMG, I completely forgot: No, this is not a shot from The Conversation. It's Toots and his Rickenbacker. John Lennon bought a Rickenbacker exactly like this one because Toots played on it. 17 minutes into the news and it's still about Toots.

Naïve Old Fart 11,226 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I shall play Jaco Pistorious' "Word Of Mouth", tonight, followed by a very teary "Cinderella Liberty". Thank you, Mr. Thielemans, for playing on one of the very best OSTs that I have ever heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
